How the heck does this happen? It's not like I sit there and think, "Ooh, my armpits are cold, here I'll stick a little fiber up there to keep them warm. " They just appear.
What do you call them? I think they need a special name. I'm not creative enough to come up with one though. Any suggestions?
Hey, does this need to be a contest? Enter your suggestions in the comments, and then winner to be determined by a poll?
I'm sure I have fiber around here I could offer as a prize. 4 oz of something?
ETA: Enter your suggestion by Monday, the 17th, 5 pm CDT. Then I'll do a poll with all the suggestions, and the highest vote getter by Wednesday will win. 4 oz of alpaca or alpaca sock blend, winner's choice. I'll spin it up for the non-spinner.
Pit Lint?
ReplyDeleteWooly Pits?
Wooly Arm Pits? (WAP for short--I love acronyms)
Non-native Armpit Hair?
I know...lame. But I'll be checking back to see what the great minds come up with.
never happens to me...
ReplyDeletethe obvious answer is pittypats, but i'm goin' with pit balls.
Not clever here. Still, I have not had that experience myself. Maybe it's just a fiberfart?
ReplyDeleteLona, I like your suggestions!
ReplyDeleteRick, not too obvious, I didn't even think of pittypats!
Cindy, I really am the only one? How embarrassing. "Fiberfart", snort!
WEll, not had the experience yet, but it could happen "Rare Pit Fiber" yarn. might be a market for it on ebay. strager things have been sold. Thanks for a great laugh!
ReplyDeleteIt's obvious to me - they're Pit Balls!
ReplyDeleteJust keep them leashed around small children, 'kay? ;^)
Yes! Pit Balls has got to win this little contest. Too funny...
ReplyDeletePit balls is hard to beat.ahhh, how about arm pills? hmm, I think all the good names are gone.
ReplyDeletePitlings.
ReplyDeletewell, they are a kind of "dustbunny" of the pit from spinning. So i think of pit-bunnies or lamb-balls. Hmmm, Pit-Lint? lol, sorry, no pit lint here either.
ReplyDeleteMy first thought was pit balls, but then I realized they were pit snot. That's the official term, really.
ReplyDeleteI'm know a spinner so I've never had the experience myself.
I am a fairly new spinner. I will have to start checking my armpits!
ReplyDeleteI think that pitty fur kind of sums it up. All names are so cute.
ReplyDeleteI'm laughing over here. These are so funny! How about Dingle berry pits?? Or Woolie Balls?? Goodness, think I'll stop there! :O
ReplyDeleteCould the possible be pit bunnies, you think?
ReplyDeleteThat's just too funny. I don't spin myself, so I have no experience in this phenomenon, but I really appreciate you sharing with us!
Have a great weekend!
Well we have always called them
ReplyDeleteschnoodiks. I dont know where it started. As in,
You have a little schnoodick on you.
and then you pick it off the person. the shnoodick that is.
Pit fuzz?
ReplyDeleteYou know I have the same thing happen...
ReplyDeleteI call them...
"Hippy Pits"!!
my hubby says "pit nubs". i have yet to experience this problem - maybe b/c i use a drop spindle and not yet a spinning wheel??
ReplyDeleteMy first thought was Pit Tribbles, but that could you into trouble with the Trekkies. So, since they're fiber, how about Pit Fibbles?
