Get Ready: March Mayhem Is Coming
Hello, MDK readers!
It’s the season. Coworkers are gathering around the bubbler, all hepped up about their “brackets” and “seeds,” blabbing on about “Gonzaga” and “red-hot Southern Methodist.”
Do you feel left out?
Do you find yourself wishing these three weeks of obligatory (in the U.S.) March Madness had a little less of the fast-paced basketball and a little more of the slow-paced knitting and purling? A little less edge-of-your-seat, a little more middle-of-the-sofa?
We thought so. So we’re cooking up a bracket just for knitters.
It will be all in good fun. This competition is going to be more Westminster Dog Show than NCAA Tournament.
On our bracket, the chihuahua will have just as good a shot at the Final Four as the Newfoundland.
All dogs are good dogs, and in our tournament, all knitting is good knitting.
Watch this space. Bracket will be revealed on Wednesday, March 15, and voting will begin the same day.
Yes: voting. Unlike the basketball tournament, where you have no control over the outcome, here you get to actually do something.
Get ready!
Love,
Ann and Kay
I’m in. Send the brackets. Pop the corn, uncork the wine, and fluff the couch cushions!
Right there with you! Pass the popcorn, please.
The only March Madness I’ve ever heard of is weather related. But i understood knitting, dogs and patterns. Im looking forward to this non-weather related Madness!
(Yes we’re expecting a snow storm today)
That Corgi is perfect 🙂
All corgis are perfect!!
I am pretty sure you are speaking English but aside from that you lost me! Anxiously waiting for Wednesday to restore my understanding!
Thank you Linda, but what happened to Tuesday! ?
I’m not sure where this is going and if Westminster and the dogs is just a metaphor but I’ve got a black pug who looks dashing in her red sweater with a talent for unwinding a ball of yarn in seven seconds flat. We’re ready for March Mayhem whatever it may be.
You have peaked my interest…….
BooYah! 3 points!
Yes! What a great idea! I want Wednesday right now.
Big Komondor (top photo) and Puli fan. Sign me up!
I enjoy reading the topic of the day. Makes me smile.
Sounds fun! I can’t wait for more details!
O. M. G! Finally brackets that will be exciting!
Beware the Ides of March!
I got a flat tire once on the Ides.
Is the terrier at the bottom wearing bobbins?
Looks like a Lasa…
You had me at “a little more middle-of-the-sofa.” But when you added “this competition is going to be more Westminster Dog Show than NCAA” I was all in!” Let the games begin!
Seeing as how th opening photo is of a squishy basset hound, how can I resist? Besides, this pending blizzard is madness!
Count me in! March Madness consumes my husband and thanks to you I’ll have my people for support!
Not sure what’s going on, but you have piqued my interest , needles at the ready
Ooooo! Fun!
Look forward to this. I’m not sure it can surpass my newpaper’s “Breakfast Burrito Bracket” festivities, but I think I can swing two new concepts in one month.
Bubbler! Indeed, Who is from Wisconsin?
I was wondering the same thing, Joan. D’you think maybe they have bubblers in Iowa where Kay’s from?
