Mystery Item of the Week

UPDATE:

As of Friday, 3/7 we have some very amusing entries.
I guess I'm going to have to put a caveat on here that if I don't know who you are, you can't win the Mystery Item. How can I send them to you or give you props if you're Anonymous to me?


Therefore, I STRONGLY encourage the posters if they want to remain Anon Y. Mous to:
a) sign their entries in the comment if you don't want to create a Blogger ID (it's fine with me really);
or b) e-mail me off line if you know who I really am to followup on your guess;
and/or c) let me know in the comments if you want the prize or no.

If you pass on the fabulous prize, I must warn you, there are no cash equivalents. Auntie Nettie doesn't have any of her own.
______________________________________________

The best (or funniest) guess received the item (or a similar one) as the reward -- at the discretion of Auntie Nettie.





Decision on the "winner" will be announced on Wednesday, March 12th. Stay tuned.

  1. WAY too much what ever it is to be a knit bra, but THANKS FOR PLAYING.

  2. Could it be a scrunchy or a steering wheel cover?

  6. ruffled knit leg warmers, I hear they are making a comeback.

  7. @susan -- nope, not quite. But that does reminds me that I am supposed to make a pair. Can you crochet leg warmers? I don't think so, so I think I need a knitter to do that.

    A lurker actually guessed what it is, but since she's a knitter, she has an unfair advantage. She'll be getting another prize. Ya'll are still in the running -- except for testmonkey. He gets another type of prize, up the side of the head.

  8. Ok, I don't know what a lurker is (I am so new to the blogging "experience")....explain?

    Another guess? facecloth?

  9. @Kristin-

    According to wikipedia, this defines a "lurker":

    In Internet culture, a lurker is a person who reads discussions on a message board, newsgroup, chatroom, file sharing or other interactive system, but rarely participates.

    Sound like anyone we know?

    Please tell me you know what wikipedia is, yes?

    A facecloth? mmm... Also, not quite.

  10. Tell K to get a friggin blog, will you? :)

    yes, I know what Wikipedia is. I'm not that out of it.

    Ok, so how about a napkin?

  11. Honestly, I was planning on going with testmonkey's guess but I couldn't figure out a polite way to say it. Way to go, testmonkey.

    Umm...Umm...Umm...a scarf? A long sock? The sand dunes at the beginning of Disney's Aladdin? Oh wait, am I only allowed one guess?

  13. So...does that mean I won?

  14. All will be revealed in time young grasshopper ... or on March 12th!

    Keep guessing. I may award a series of prizes.

  15. A series of prizes! That sounds even more fun. Let's see, how does one claim a prize if one is trying to be anonymous. Hmm...I'm gonna have to think about this one.

  16. My mother and I have decided that it is a coral reef.

  17. No fair pulling ideas from the New York Times, however much they * might* have inspired this photo.

  18. We're educators here and have to be up on the news, you know.

  19. One more guess...the wig for when you try out for that Wendy's commercial. Or for when you play Pippi Longstocking on broadway.

  20. @Anonymous: you just really want to win, huh? I admire that.

    ReplyDelete
  21. @testmonkey- indeed. I do love to win things.

    @ auntie nettie - Do I have time for a last minute guess? Oh, good. A small scale (and blurry) model of the grand canyon.
