Monday Monday…

I’m not feeling all that well today so this post will be very brief. I have finished the change purse for my boss and we have discovered to “the boy’s” amusement that I am not, in any way, a seamstress. Basically I need to stick to knitting and leave the sewing to anyone other than me.

I am still working on Jonathan’s scarf but the nobs make me need to switch back and forth so I’ve started a pair of fingerless mitts that I’m calling Heart on my Sleeve Fingerless Gloves. I’ve modified a lace heart patter and I’m running them up the arm of the gloves. I started them for myself but I’m not loving them so I think I’m gonna sell them at our shop if I can, there will be plenty left of this yummy yarn to make myself a pair with a different pattern. I’m determind to finish Jonathan’s sweater first though.

Friday night we had a date night and we went to see Across the Universe which I have been dying to see since I first saw the preview back in the spring. Pretty much everyone else in the movie theatre hated it, except for us. I think that we tend to look at things and appreciate things differently than most people. I have a great appreciation for music and the story that it tells, you can’t follow a song’s story, then I could see how you would be very lost in this film. There were some odd parts that could have been left out or elaborated on, but for the most part I LOVED the film. I do plan on buying both the soundtrack and the film once it’s out on DVD. So…If you enjoy musicals and have an appreciation for the era of the 1960’s then this film may be for you.
