I had to

I can't quite explain it but when I get an idea like this in my head I have to execute it. And actually, it was a LOT easier than I anticipated. It may not scan perfectly in places but it's pretty dang good, if I do say so myself.... A few links and one footnote provided for clarity.




All about that Lace. Being a parody with apologies to Megan Trainor.


Because you know I'm all about that lace
'Bout that lace, no cable
I'm all about that lace
'Bout that lace, no cable
I'm all about that lace
'Bout that lace, no cable
I'm all about that lace
'Bout that lace... lace... lace... lace
Yeah, it's pretty clear, I knit with size two’s
And I can slip slip knit, slip slip knit, like I'm supposed to do
'Cause I got that hap shawl that all the traddies* chase
And all the right holes in all the right places
I see the magazine workin' that arm knittin’,
We know that fad ain't real, come on now, make it stop
If you got laceweight, laceweight, just raise it up
'Cause every inch of shawl is perfect from the bottom to the top
Yeah, my mama she told me "don't worry about your gauge"
(Shoo wop wop, sha-ooh wop wop)
She says, "Good blocking can save you any day "

(That wet-block, uh, that wet blocking)
You know I won't be no Wil Wheaton colorwork clown
(Shoo wop wop, sha-ooh wop wop)
So if that's what you're into, then go 'head and move along

Because you know I'm all about that lace
'Bout that lace, no cable
I'm all about that lace
'Bout that lace, no cable
I'm all about that lace
'Bout that lace, no cable
I'm all about that lace
'Bout that lace... Hey!

I'm bringing Shetland back
Go 'head and tell them modern knitters that.
No, I'm just playing, I know you like yarn that’s fat
But I'm here to tell you...
Every inch of shawl is perfect from the bottom to the top

Because you know I'm all about that lace
'Bout that lace, no cable
I'm all about that lace
'Bout that lace, no cable
I'm all about that lace
'Bout that lace, no cable
I'm all about that lace
