Oh, oops, I mean “You Don’t Mess with the Zohan”. Yes, I went to my last (for the most part) unsupervised (by kids) movie for the summer. I had no interest at all to see this movie, but then I saw a trailer and it looked pretty funny, so I ended up seeing it. Like […]
I don’t necessarily want to be associated with this unlucky number, but so far in Ali’s list of participants in her “summer knitting goals” contest, number 13 is empty so I’ll add my goals. Here they are:
1) Finish at least A.’s socks and 2 of my unfinished sweaters (I’m thinking the tank I just started, […]
Not literally, as I’m using wool, but aargh!!!
I was done with my sweater. I had sewn in the ends. I went into my yarn closet looking for 2 buttons, and alas, one more ball of Knit Picks Palette!!!! I was so happy to be done with this sweater and this yarn, and now […]
I really wanted to go to the movies this week because I’m kind of addicted, and I have a long way to go on my Elsebeth Lavold Silky Wool sweater (I’m almost done with my Palette sweater, however, and need to finish the 2nd sleeve on my Classic Elite Venue sweater - leaving me with […]
Shhh… I went to the movies again. Yes, two days in a row. But Thursday night I realized that Forgetting Sarah Marshall was opening on Friday, and I didn’t have any official plans, so how could I say no?
I didn’t have as many opinions about this movie as I did about “Speed Kings” but […]
Well, since TV has fallen flat lately even though the writers’ strike is over (and I heard a rumor that even though they still had 13 episodes to air, even though “Cavemen” left with that many unaired episodes, they’re not cancelled, but have been renewed. I haven’t gotten any confirmation on that, but it […]
I *finally* finished my mittens I started “last year” for my friend. I made one, then I got motivated to do other things, and I finally finished a second. Of course it has the same problem many of my mittens have, that it’s too small:
but at least it’s done and a pair. […]
As you might remember, I have been at the movie theater 5 times in the past couple of weeks:
Sweeney Todd
Juno
Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story
Charlie Wilson’s War
The Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything
and of course at the movies you need knitting, right? Stockinette knitting? So of course I had to start a new project. […]
I’ve been doing so well with using up my least favorite yarn lately, and getting rid of UFOs right and left.
Last week I really tried to make it to Full Thread Ahead’s charity knitting afternoon, so I started a scarf out of what I thought was one of 2 skeins remaining of Pineapple Cotton Ease. […]
Well, my Sally Melville’s “Where’s the Opaque? Sweater” went from this:
to this:
a lot of knit stitches, and I realized that I wasn’t sure I was going to wear a glorified short poncho (Sally Melville’s Knit-Round Scarf), so I picked up one of my other books (this one I’ve used before, and will definitely keep), Anne […]
