I don't want to give too much away here but although the story was sad, the writing and acting were spectacular. Amazing. Keira Knightly and James McAvoy were fabulous. I highly recommend it.
Just make sure to bring your ID card since it's rated R. "Oh, I don't need to bring my ID Card," you say? What's that? You're in your mid twenties? Well so am I and I got carded. I haven't been carded to see a rated R movie in 10 years!
I'm sure it has everything to do with my new hairstyle (it's a fun, trendy cut with streaks of purple) but still, Joe made fun of me for the rest of the day.
Death by Socks
I finished my socks up on Saturday evening but had to wait until Tuesday to get them out in the mail. Here they are in all their super bright and cheery glory:

Two days after I sent them off to my victim in Canada (stop laughing Cambria), I recieved my death socks in the mail:

Knitty Surprise



The Mid-Winter Knitty Surprise went live on Thursday. There have been times where knitty publishes patterns I just don't get (Cleaves anyone?) but THIS PATTERN knocked my socks off. I. Must. Have. It. In fact I went and bought the yarn for it yesterday (shhh. Don't tell Husband). I'm trying to decide if I should start it today or wait until my drops jacket is done. I'm leaning toward starting it b/c I think it may go faster than the jacket (which seems to be coming along oh-so-slowly)

Adventures in Crochetlandia
While I learned how to crochet when I was about 12 or so, I never really did too much with it beyond scarves and either edgings or embelishments for my knitted items. I found this pattern while cruising around on Ravelry yesterday, though, and decided they would be perfect for a certain someone's birthday coming up today. So I went in search of fun, tropical, summery colors and created a whole flip flop wardrobe for her wine (or martini) glasses.


Those flip flop coasters are great and SO fun.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you mentioned Knitty, b/c I hadn't seen the skirt or the top. Those are great.
You are so talented!
ReplyDeleteI saw the movie last night- wow! I felt so sentimental and thankful that I still have my love, right next to me!
