Boy, we have a lot to cover. I have had thoughts running through my head this weekend and I will try to remember them all.
1. 30 Rock fans out there? Well, this past week, Alec Baldwin's character took up knitting and popped out with a shawl. It reminded me of how many different movies and TV shows reference knitting and have little props to go with it. How can I be a stunt knitter in the movies? I will position yarn in aesthetically appealing ways in a kitschy basket. And! I can knit a mean shawl.
2. I finally finished my last sock. Somehow, not as gratifying as it should have been. I think I let that project ferment too long and it lost its luster once I bound off the toes. And, I don't even wear socks. The socks are officially out of my system. The next time that I cast on socks, I want someone to remind me of this feeling right now.
3. This weekend, I went with some couples to a haunted farm situation for Halloween. There was an unsettling phenomenon in the portrayal of scary ghosts dressed like old ladies with knitting paraphernalia. One ghost was an old lady in a rocking chair, rocking about a hundred miles an hour. Next to her chair, knitting needles. You don't ever see creepy old men as golfers in a haunted house, just old spinsters. There is apparently nothing more frightening than an old single lady. Ooooh! Spooky!
4. The snickers is gone.
