day in review
wanna see who i met today?
I have removed this area due to some weird google searches in regards to the image i had posted. i have noticed my blog coming up in searches with things linked to foodtv etc and it makes me kinda uncomfortable :)
so tonight i settled in for some good knitting time during my fav wednesday show alias. then the cable went out. boo! how dare it! i missed an episode full of vaughn. that just isn't fair. i heart vaughn. the cable conveniently came back just after 10. what was a girl who planned a nightful of tv and knitting to do? well i popped in this silly movie. i didn't get to see vaughn but colin firth is just as good i think.
so it is back to the entrelac stole. i took it to the knitting meetup last night and was motivated to keep plugging away at it. i had a discussion with megan about how i was going to wear this thing. i mean it is wide, big and heavy. she offered up that it would be a good wrap to wear on the cool seattle summer evenings. i think it will be perfect for that. so i am back to work on it. here is a picture to show you the length. i still have about 1/3 to go on it.
i am really going to concentrate on getting this done. it is going to be brilliant!
so today i also received an interesting envelope in the mail. it was hand addressed and it was from my local yarn shop. huh? i mean they normally send out postcards etc with the standard computer generated labels. but hand addressed? what could it be? the suspense was killing me. it was a 15% off my next purchase coupon. arghh! they must know i am a sucker. i can't pass that up. especially since i need some more of the perfect yarn i bought there.
isnt' it lovely? the top one is blue and brown. yeah! i have no idea what i am using it for or why i need more, but a discount is a discount.
now it is late and i will leave you with one more link to an mp3 of one of my fav songs. if you have seen any of the recent hallmark commercials ( i think it is a mother's day commercial) you may recognize the song. more notably it has been in some tv shows and in the movie 50 first dates i believe (which is where i recognized it from). somewhere over the rainbow/what a wonderful world by israel kamakawiwo‘ole. at least i am pretty sure it was the one in 50 first dates. it is such a pretty version. enjoy it :)

Oh! The entrelac stole is so gorgeous, can't wait to see it finished! Hm, it will be heavy huh? Are you using about 10 balls of Noro on it?

I love your entrelac stole! If you dont mind my asking, where did you find the pattern for it. Love your site, you always have such nice photos up!
I love that song, too! I remember that it was also played during that episode of ER where Dr. Greene goes to Hawaii to die. Cheery, huh?
I just purchased 2 skeins of GGH Molina last week - one each of the same colors you purchased. I knit the kerchief scarf from LMKG in the brown/blue colorway. I thought it was a nice yarn to work with.
Blah blah blah, knitting blah blah blah, OH MY GOD, I'm so sorry that you missed Alias. I tivo'd it and watched it last night. It was, by far, the best episode of the season.
Seriously though, your entrelac stole is gorgeous. Did you check out the finished one at Weaving Works during their shawl show? It's probably still up.
Great picture of you with Giada! How cool that you were able to meet her.
My my, that entrelac stole is AWESOME! I love the colors.
Hope all is well, and that you have a great weekend :)

How cool that you met Giada...and how funny that my dad and I were talking just today about her show! I enjoy it also. Your stole is looking great, but it does look very heavy! Congrat for sticking with it...you'll be glad you did.
Like Whoa! I love that creation! IT's totally cool! And Love love love love that yarn it looks oh so soft!
My TiVo just happened to record Everyday Italian the other day, so I saw my first episode ever... she made the pannetone french toast... oooooh decadent. I love the way she seems to be taking real pleasure in how yummy everything is going to be. But, I could do with fewer super-closeups on the food. It makes me a little dizzy. I asked TiVo to record me some more episodes later this week - I'm sure they'll all be good too! Thanks for the tip. :)
WOW! That entrelac stole is phenomenal. I am amazed and impressed. Plus you got to meet Giada. She's cool. Watch her all the time.
