Still alive

It's been so long since I signed in that I forgot my password.  Then I got a shock: I actually gained a follower while I was away.

So, what's been on the needles?  I'm about 20 rows from finishing a lapghan that'll be sent to Sis in Texas.  I'm putting together a carton of good things for her, to include the two lapghans, some trinkets from Antique Archeology, and a large collection of cross stitch pattern books.  The gurrls have both become interested in cross stitch.  Other items OTN include oven mitts for Plaidman, and reusable sweeper covers for the neighbor, who's got wood flooring throughout his house.  I still get Interweave Knits, and Disco & I look thru it for lovely things that I might want to knit.  But I don't really spend a lot of time knitting, because of Pinterest -- the worst time waste ever.  Oh sure, Disco & I find lots of funny things to share there.  But useful stuff? Not so much.  I do save a lot of hat pictures, I'd really like to knit more hats, especially stranded work.  But I don't really have a lot of the yarn I need for that work.  Maybe I'll treat myself to some Knit Picks Palette, if I can make some space for it in the craft room.

Watched Despicable Me: 3 again last night; such imagination!  Love Gru & Lucy.  And Dru!!  A lot of the action in this movie makes me think of an Ardman film, The Wrong Pants.  It won an award, and is just killer funny.  It stars, of course, Wallace & Gromit.  Look for it.
