Oy, if it's not one thing, it's another. I've tried for days to get these pictures loaded and they just did not want to show. So I said screw it, and created a Flickr account. Check out a couple of freaking aweome kick-ass socks here. So much easier!
Happy hump day! I know where I'll be at 10:00 tonight, do you? :)
Okay, shut up! Dude got hit by a bus! Awesome! Loved it! Screw all the naysayers, this show is incredible. Yeah, the first six episodes of the season may not have been the best (I think it will be pretty hard to ever beat the first season) but Lost is back with full force. Although I wanted to see more of everyone at the beach (I need my Desmond fix!), the show moved super fast and really moved the story along. Love that Kate and Sawyer made it off the mini-island. Love that we know that Juliette is a prisoner too. Love that Jack still seems to have the balls that he grew in the last episode. Love that we got to see more of the less crazy Mapother/Cruise family member (Ethan). Dude, if the recruiters are willing to hit a guy with a bus, what else are they capable of? I didn't see much of the preview, but it looked like explosions and Desmond galore. Woo hoo! Can't wait!
And tomorrow is another kick-ass night! Hope the ferry disaster on Grey's makes for as good tv as Code Black did (is that a terrible thing to say?). Either way, I'll be sure to have the tissues handy.
oh.my.god.i.love.LOST! That episode last night was amazing!!! Sayid is a total bad-ass and I wouldn't want it any other way! I've been dying to know if Sun and her english tutor did the dirty, and although I'm not completely convinced that they went all the way, I loved seeing more of that backstory. The shizz is totally gonna hit the fan if the chick Sun shot on the boat dies. Don't think Zeke or crazy Ben will like that too much. Speaking of crazy Ben, showing the Red Sox World Series clip... HOLY CRAP! And you know I can't wait until next week when we get to find out what happened to the boys in the hatch! And just for the hubby's sake... it's not just because the blast blew off Desmond's skivvies :).
Not only was Lost on, but I got my PR fix too! Team Laura all the way! I love that she had the balls to call out Jeffrey on his finishing techniques (or his lack thereof). I know that some might disagree, but I find it pretty odd that out of three seasons, he's the only one with absolutely no work left to do when they arrive in NY. Very fishy.... They showed a clip of him crying after talking to Tim in the preview for next week, but I'm thinking it's just because they couldn't confirm anything and he will be able to show at Fashion Week (of course, even if they do find out that he cheated he'd still get to show since this is airing way after Fashion week actually happened). We'll see... I hope they don't spend too much time on the drama next week and we get to see plenty of the collections!
Okay, just so this isn't completely about tv stuff...
My birthday was last month, and even though I had a terrible head cold, I stil managed to score some awesome gifts!
The dogs we already had :) but the bag is from pureknits, the namaste Executive Handbag in Dusty Rose (I'm pretty sure that's the color name). It's so big! I haven't had the chance to use it yet, but I know I could fit at east two decent size projects inside along with books and my regular purse stuff.
Also from pureknits... an amazing gift from Yahaira!
I'm a "real" lace newbie, so if anyone has recommendations that are worthy of this beautiful bamboo yarn, please let me know! The color that's showing probably doesn't give this yarn justice, I swear it's actually glowing. I love it!
And on one last pureknits note... a peek at what should be there soon...
Um wow.. I think it may be a drastic understatement to say that last night's Lost completely delivered. My jaw was on the floor the entire time. I definitely think that Lost has the best cold-opens of any show on tv. Every time they show the crash, especially from a vantage point that we haven't seen before, I get chills. And Ben/Henry is crazy creepy! I figured that we wouldn't be seeing much of anyone other than Sawyer, Kate and Jack so I wasn't disappointed that the story revolved around them at all. I can't wait to find out what's next! Tonight.... Grey's!!
The response to the new Project Runway colorway was really great! I'll have more sport weight sets to post by next weekend. Check back here or sign up for email updates to get the exact time. Thanks!!!
WOOOOO HOOOOO! Wednesday's here!!!! Finally Lost is back! I don't want to spoil it for anyone who may still be catching up, but if this season is anything like the last, we're in for some crazy stuff! I can't wait to check out the newest cast members, but what I really want to see is more Desmond! And Sawyer.... and Sayid.....
Speaking of Lost....
I don't think I need to tell you what pattern this is, but I started it last night with some 4-8-15-16-23-42 variegated in the sport weight. I may have found the perfect combo of stitch count and needle size, because there's absolutely no pooling. It's done on US size 2 with 60 stitches and it's fitting like a glove. Well...a sock actually :).
In shop news....
A peek at what I'll be adding to the shop today at 5:00pm est. Clockwise from the top left.... "mimosa", "tequila sunrise", "4-8-15-16-23-42", and brand new is the Project Runway set, "Carry on" (solid blue half-skein for cuffs/heels/toes) and "Make it work" (full skein). They're all variegated, except for the solid blue. For now there will only be one PR set available but if there's interest I'll definitely dye some more up asap.
Happy hump day everyone! Don't forget to watch Lost!!
