As cool as it is to have HBO now (watching Big Love), we also end up watching the same movie over and over since HBO likes to play the same set of movies over and over and only rotate in new things at the beginning of each month. So Kevin and I have watched Clue at least 3 times in the past 2 weeks. I like Clue. I could watch it frequently (as I obviously have been). But it does mean that our vocabulary involves too many Clue quotations. "Communism was just a red herring." We've also seen Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith nearly 3 full times. Although it is kind of hard to quote Lucas' stilted dialogue. It is interesting though how funny the Star Wars movies become the more you watch them. Anywho, back to the knitting. I've been working exclusively on Ms. Marigold. I still have about 2 more inches before joinging the front. As you can see from the picture it seems to fit pretty well. I should probably not have been lazy and actually put it on waste yarn instead of 2 short needles.
Here is the front as modeled by the desk chair. The 2 short needles just wouldn't allow a decent (and I mean that both ways!) shot of the front, so you'll just have to make do with this. So far I am enjoying the pattern as it is rather easy and mindless knitting. I'm undecided about the ruffles on the sleeves. They seem cute, but I think the top might work better without them.
