I like to think sock patterns are his favorites


I went to see the new HP film yesterday. They kept the knitting reference in, which I was very pleased about. Beyond that there are plenty of things I could say on the matter but I don't wish to do a review, so I won't.

While watching I worked on my current movie knitting. Usually it's socks -I don't turn heels or work toes while in darkened theaters but I do straight stockinette or a simple rib. This is a top down beanie for BB out of tofutsies yarn. It's leftover from a pair of socks I knitted for BB for his birthday last year (I think). Anyway this will be for his b day this year if I can get a couple more movies in before then. If not I'll just give it to him when it's done. I already got him a few non crafty things he'll like.

I also knit on this during Star Trek and I planned on knitting on it during the following films:
The Brothers Bloom
Away We Go
(500) Days of Summer
All Good Things
Taking Woodstock

Except it appears none of them came or will come to my little town. Sigh.

ETA: Away we Go started Friday and I went to see it on Sat. Of course I forgot to bring my movie knitting with. On the plus I loved the movie. It was somehow even better than the hype.

Lorna's Laces Yumminess


I went to my LYS a few weeks back to buy yarn for a sweater for BB and I made my customary sweep of the sock yarns and discovered some Lorna's Laces. I didn't even know they carried the yarn since I had never seen it there before. Turns out they carry it, it just doesn't stay on the shelves. The pink and yellow is my current travel project - they've already been knit in a pub, a Mexican restaurant, a Greek restaurant, a deli, and at a friend's house while watching the first season of the Tudors. The blue may or may not be involved in a holiday gift.
