Do You Knit at the Movies?

I usually do. This afternoon we went and saw this. OH! MY! GOSH! This was excellent! If you like special effects AND a good plot (even better than the original), go see this in a movie theater. I promise - you won't regret it!

As I said, I normally take "movie knitting" with me. Mindless, don't have to look at, keep the hands busy knitting. I took the side of the next felted tote bag. Easy knitting. I knit through the coming attractions, I knit though the build-up, I knit through the first encounter on the island. But after that, I had to work on reminding myself to BREATHE, let alone knit.

But, when we got home and I took a look at my tote bag, I made a very unfortunate discovery. I'm out of yarn!! Well, I have enough to do a couple more inches but after than I'm stuck. So I dug around, found my stash of roving, and sure enough, I've got the right colors.

Now I have to turn this:


into this:

Yes, I see the ears. I also noticed, as I was getting the next picture, she was walking away, smaking her lips. Kind of like kids do when they try to eat too much peanut butter. I didn't SEE a mouth touch anything but she was hiding behind the stack.

So now I have to find time to fit in some spinning. I like to spin during the day because the light is so good in my fiber room. We'll just see how fast that tote bag gets done now! I might have to start the enterlac bag. I bought both the book and the yarn (not in those colors) at Gourmet Yarn. Margaret and Kay helped me pick out some lovely purple and blue. When I get it started I'll post some pics of the yarn.

What...a baby blanket...oh, yes...I do have that little project to work on.
