Fold your shirts!

Folding a t-shirt, a la Japanese Martha Stewart.

Last night we watched The Devil Wears Prada and, though we can hardly forget Anne Hathaway's performance in Brokeback — who wouldn't forget? All of a sudden her boobies were the star of the show! — I really enjoyed the Prada. I would still like to read the book, my usual requirement for books-turned-movie. Kas, who hasn't posted in her blog in forever, didn't think it made much of a difference when it came to Children of Men, though. Who knows? All's I know is that we're going to catch Pan's Labyrinth tomorrow, and perhaps stop at B-A-B for a little groundhog action.

But really, what you came here to see was knitting. Well, I have no pictures. (Bad blogger! No cookie!) But I do have news: I'm through the sixth repeat of the second Swallowtail chart. I feel like I'm absolutely flying through it, and I think I'll have to stop at a yarn shop this weekend and pick up some circs, because the straights I'm working with aren't going to hold out much longer. I think 16-inches will probably work just fine for the duration. I hope I can find some bamboo ones ... I'm not quite brave enough for metal needles and lace yet. Though I am using sock yarn ...

Okay, back to fixing the labels!

I hate you so much right now, we're all dying to see Pan's Labyrinth out here is Hicksville! *weeps*

Well, we do have to go to the capital of the state to be able to see it. It's not in our podunk town yet, of course. But it's worth a 70-mile round trip.
