Ok! Lets start off with some book reviews, shall we?
Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West by Gregory Maguire
Am I the only one who waited this long to read this book? I think so. I loved the story, I really did, although it was a smidge choppy and I hate it when authors use "cute" metophores for sex. It really ruins the dramatic moment. I also wasn't that fond of the ending, it seemed too forced to me. I will pick up his other book, though.
Black House by Stephen King and Peter Straub
Ok, I am a massive Stephen King fan and I will read anything he writes. Black House was a spectacular peice of work, the charectors were very well written and developed. That being said, I think the end could have come sharply. I honestly expected him to say "to be continued" because it only took about 50 pages to tie up all the endings and defeat the bad guy. Still...yum.
I am fiddling around with hat patterns. I want to eventually write my own, but I need a wee bit of practice. I did come up with this so far. Its in some baby soft yarn...I am not sure where the label is. I had a massive cleaning spree the other day and it might have gotten trashed. I am aiming more to doll clothes and baby clothes, so I am going to a doll store on monday to find a proper, baby sized doll to size all the stuff on. Should be fun!
I want to get rid of the hole in the top, maybe that disapearing ring that she talks about in SnB? I also need to tame down the ruffle, maybe add some eyelets for a ribbon, maybe stick on some pom pom's, who knows. I dont. It is deliciously soft, though.
Then I picked this up on e-bay, two balls of it. I manged to get one horribly tangled when I tried to roll it, but the other did ok...its hand dyed cotton. It works up nice and stiff, so I am using some to learn how to properly make socks because its easier to see the stitches and work in the back loop. See how pretty the sock ribbing worked up? Nice and striped.
This is a (small) blanket I am making for a friend, just red heart acrylic yarn. Its my first time doing this pattern, and I must say that I LOVE it. It works up easy and looks cool. Black, White, and Green.
Lastly, I picked up these two movies today, two of my favorites that I don't own on DVD yet. Chicago, and Moulin Rouge. Now I just need a portable DVD player to haul them around in.
Love you all!
