BIG NEWS!

First, I promised some more Halloween pics that had the hubby in it. He totally got into the whole "Ricky" vibe and I think he looked great (although probably a bit tall for Ricky :)). There really wasn't much to do for his costume except for embellishing his tie. Easy peasy!

Okay, so the big news... yarntini will be featured in Debbie Stoller's upcoming Stitch n Bitch Page-a-Day calendar for 2008!
I didn't want to say anything before cause I just knew it would jinx it. I'm so freakin' excited! Thank you so much to everyone who's supported my business and pushed me to make the absolute best product I can. As difficult as it is at times, I love dyeing yarn. I feel incredibly lucky to have the support at home and in the knitting community that I do. THANK YOU!

Don't forget to watch Lost tonight! It's gonna be cruiseazy y'all!

Sayid/Jin 2008! (PLS!)

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...
