One Down, One to Go

Very little to say tonight, but a picture says a thousand words, right?

One sleeve finished, one more to go.

Did anybody see Pushing Daisies tonight? Knitting to the rescue! Loved that, and loved the knitted money and gun cozies, too . . . I’m still making my mind up about this show, but loved seeing Kristin Chenowyth getting a chance to sing tonight. But is anybody other than me finding the narrator’s year/day/minute age break-down of every character really annoying?

And, last, has anybody else heard about the Comfort Doll Project? Where little, handknitted dolls are used as packing materials for HIV medicines being sent to Africa–keeping the medicine safe and then providing a different kind of comfort for the kids. What a great idea!

(So much better than that time I ordered dog supplies and they came packaged with actual popcorn instead of the styrofoam stuff . . . Well, it was biodegradable and smelled really good, anyway…)

    i actually featured the comfort dolls on the chum about a month ago.

    i’ve heard of packing peanuts, but popcorn?

    It figures that the night we decide to watch America’s Next Top Model instead of Pushing Daisies (it was makeover night) there would be knitting on Pushing Daisies. I’m still on the fence about P.D. – it’s cute but I’m not sure it will last!

    I cna hardly wait to see Autumn Rose in person. It looks absolutely amazing! I am totally out of the TV loop as I’ve never even heard of Pushing Daisies. I’ll have to check it out.

    The sleeve is awesome. Absolutely beautiful. (Can I say again, how jealous I am that you are such a voracious reader and prolific knitter.)

    As for the narrator on Pushing Daisies…I do find the age breakdown a little strange, but it’s Jim Dale, my favorite narrator of audiobooks (best known for doing all the Harry Potters), and I could listen to him read anything.

    Alas, Pushing Daisies sits on the Tivo waiting for me to have the 40-ish minutes needed to devote to it… :o (

    The colors are absolutely exquisite! I can’t wait to see it finished.

    And thank you for your compliment on the Black Widow. I really appreciate it!
