PIMP -
However, as a verb
1.) to pimp something out is to *make* it look very ghettofab and all that nifty stuff in the above paragraph.
2.) to pimp is to advertise (generally, in an enthusiastic sense) or to call attention in order to bring acclaim to something; to promote.
Somebody buys some hideous plaid pants and then adds about five pounds of metal chains … well, that’s pimpin’.
A friend creates a collage of … Angelina Jolie’s various tattoos … you pimp the collage to others, so that they’ll see her work

First up is Lisa’s new book Yarnplay. I can’t wait to get my hands on this. If you don’t recognize the name go and get your Stitch ‘n’ Bitch book. I’ll wait. Go ahead…….you back? Remember the Big Bad Baby Blanket? Yup. That be her! She’s done a ton of stuff in the knit world over the years but this is the most exciting thing to date. Go and buy her new book because it looks fantastic.
Next up is The Crafter’s Companion. Anna, aka twelve22, has just put this out and I have already pre-ordered it because I love books like this. Go check it out.
What about Spin to Knit? Shannon Okey of Knitgrrl is the author of this book. I want you to all buy it because my girl Pippi is in it! You all know that Pippi rocks the spinning world right? If not? Go buy her yarn dangit!
That’s a good start. I may come back and add some more stuff later. You can always leave suggestions for other pimped out goodness I might not know about or have forgotten.
And it’s Thursday. You know what that means. Survivor! Grey’s Anatomy! ER! That’s like three solid hours of knitting my friends. I think I can finish my sock tonight.
