Dog Days of Summer

Our Summer Program is in full swing at work. We are off on field trips every day. We’ve been to some pretty amazing places already but we are also getting plenty of time back at our building for dressup and K’nex building.
Despite my best efforts, when left to their own devices this is how the [...]

Lost Revisted: Season 1.5

White Rabbit
Young Jack’s eye opens to getting the beats, which he’s chosen rather than just letting his friend be hit. Brave little gaffer.
On Island we open with an emergency – there is a women flailing in the water and Charlie is tearing down the beach to Jack shouting “I don’t swim!” Really? Apparently no one else does [...]

Lost Revisited: Season 1.4

Walkabout – or as I call it: The premiere of ” Don’t tell me what I can’t do!!”
This episode opens with another gorgeous eye shot – those are so powerful.
We’re returned to the mayhem following the planes crash – Shannon’s awesome screaming is in the background (honestly – do you think someone could be [...]

WiP’s on a Wednesday

So I can’t promise to post like this each Wednesday — in case you haven’t noticed, I have an aversion towards schedules…Shhh. It’s fine!
We have been running at half our normal attendance all week — yay! — which has allowed for plenty of knit time on field trips. Which has led to this: 

Yep – that [...]

Lost Revisted – Season 1.3

Tabula Rasa
Tabula Rasa – Blank Slate. Good idea – but impossible as our Losties learn during their stay on Island — well, maybe only some of them learn.
Last year when I rewatched the series was the first time I really noticed how funny the show was. I was so stressed out/engrossed with the bigger storyline [...]

Lost Revisted – Season 1.2

Pilot Episode Pt. 2
I think Charlie’s cover story of puking is fairly quick thinking – of course, it’s hard to believe someone could be throwing up 2 ft behind you and you don’t hear it at all.
What is with the evil look in his eyes when she tells him he is not a coward? [...]

Lost Revisted – Season 1.1

I’m going to move these posts over into a page after they’ve been up for awhile. I wish there was a simpler way WordPress! but I can’t find a way for pages to show they’ve been updated so…Knitters – bear with the Lost mania please.
Pilot Episode Pt. 1
Best opening image. Ever.
I will never [...]

Secret Pal 12: Question #4

1) What yarn (that you don’t have/haven’t used) would make your stash “complete”?
Whoa – just one yarn? That’s a weighty responsibility for a few wrapped threads to carry. Making my stash complete.
Hmmm….I haven’t knit with cashmere or quiviut or the new milk yarns. I haven’t used Koigu or STR or Manos del Uruguay. [...]
