So I saw "Eternal Sunshine..." last night and am mentioning it here because there was some wonderful knitwear in the film. In fact, it's the first movie I've seen in a while where I really noticed that there was a lot of really wonderfully knitted clothing. I was particularly amused by Jim Carrey's "Galaxy" sweater, not that I'd ever want to make it, but it did give me a chuckle.
Yesterday's other highlight was meeting Kay to hand off some afghan squares. Kay is, simply, a fabulous woman, and it was quite lovely to discuss knitting (and a few other topics) with her.
I also got a bit of knitting done yesterday as well. I knit a row or two on my current sock project - in public, in the Whole Foods Cafe while waiting for Kay - which is coming along. I also picked up that lovely red cuff from yesterday and was moving nicely into the intarsia portion. I was on the fifth stockinette row in the sleeve when I noticed the knitting wasn't moving along the way it was supposed to, and I realized that the brass "flange" which eases the transition from the plastic portion to the ebony portion had become separated and was no longer doing its job. So I'll take the needle back this morning before I go to work which, while it'll be easy to do, will be an extra $5 or $6 for a taxi as I do not forsee having time to walk the entire way.
And I wrote a bunch more stuff but MT went all garbagey on me, and I don't feel like resuscitating it right now. Over the weekend, maybe...
