Why so serious?

We just got back from "The Dark Knight" and it was great.* My only complaint was that it needed less Rachel and more Joker. Heath Ledger was amazing. Go see it if you haven't.

*By the way, we went to the Sunday night 7:50 showing and it was sold out... there was a line outside the theatre for the next showing. I can't believe how packed it was.

Twit-tastic

I have a growing addiction to Twitter. It amuses me. I like typing out random thoughts and I like reading other people's random thoughts.

Saffista sent me some links via Twitter concerning my angst with reusable meshy grocery bags that are knit!! Yay! She linked me to two patterns on Ravelry and I'll be trying them out shortly. Both are free and the photos of both look great!

I'm currently holed up in the bedroom in front of the computer while Vince writes some papers. It's finals week and he has a ton of work to do, so I'm watching lots of TV and movies online. I've also read a few books and played endless on Ravelry and Twitter. My queue on Ravelry has grown to ten pages so I'm really, really looking forward to the queue organizing that's coming out. I need it.

Last night while I watched 27 Dresses and Enchanted, I knit a pair of mini cabled grey fingerless gloves. It was some crazy, almost sparkly variegated grey in my stash. I just pulled out the entire ball and started knitting from both ends until I got low on yarn. They turned out very nicely although the yarn is a little itchy. I'll try to remember to take some photos tomorrow. Oh! Speaking of photos, I have some on my camera I need to upload. Toodles!

Some stronge language and violence.

Gosh. I thought I cussed a lot more. Whatever.

I'm almost done with the Bzzz Hat for Queen Bees (which may be the most annoying project name ever so I'm calling it the Hive hat) from Stitch 'n Bitch Nation. It seems a little large, but since it's a gift I'm just going with the flow. I really like the pattern though. It's an interesting way to add some texture without doing ribbing which I'm a little done with for the time being. I'm doing the hat without the bee buttons all over it. That just seems a little childish for me.

I'm going to try to churn out a few Ballbands this week. I haven't done one in quite a while so I'm looking forward to it.

I'm on the hunt for a good Celtic knot pattern. A friend wants a cashmere scarf with some interesting detail -- since he's Irish and I love impossible cables, I thought it would be perfect. Now if I could only fine one I like.

Speaking of violence (the title), we finally watched The Bourne Identity last night. Yeah. We were the only people on the planet who hadn't seen it yet. I enjoyed it. I like spy movies.
