ummmmm..... yeah... I was prepared for Michael to lose (he needs direction), I was seriously upset when Laura was auf'd (her collection was GORGEOUS and had a distinct vision). And when that happened, although I don't like her very much, I kind of understood why they would choose Uli to win it all (her garments were pretty but not terribly exciting). But Jeffrey.... I have no words.... ugh....
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...
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!!
YEA!!! Keith is dunzo! Thank gawd. I just don't know what is more fab... Tim Gunn auf'ing Keith or the perfection that is Michael and Laura working together! can't wait for next week!
