“Hey Heather,<\/p>\n

I bought a hat from you in the Winter and I love it. I actually found the love of my life with it on myspace. …”<\/i><\/p>\n

The power of the Jayne hat knows no bounds! It can inspire true love, it can bring a smile to everyone’s lips, it can even keep you warm in Antarctica.<\/a> If only our world leaders would wear Jayne hats, our problems would be solved in no time!<\/p>\n

In other knitting news, my daughter actually asked me to knit something for her. She saw a shop model at Charlotte Yarn and liked it, so I picked up a skein of Southwest Trading Company “Phoenix”<\/a> which is a 100% soy ribbon yarn. The colorway, appropriately, is “Candy.” The shop model was knit on 13s, but I did it on 11s with a 13 for the bindoff. Smaller needles = smaller stitches = smaller garment for my smaller girl.<\/p>\n

It’s straight garter stitch with a few yarn overs at the beginning of each row to add a few stitches. The yarn overs make the larger holes, and they also make it grow gently so that it’s got a more curved shape instead of being a rectangle. There was one knot in the skein, when I wouldn’t expect any<\/i> in a skein of yarn that retails for $12.50. Because it’s for a seven-year-old who won’t care about details, I just knotted the ends and didn’t bother with anything fancy. I also just did a regular bind-off, when a suspended bind-off would probably have been better for a looser edge. Eh, whatever, she’s very happy with it and doesn’t want to take it off.<\/p>\n

I saw The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou<\/a> a couple of days ago. Very enjoyable. Odd, but enjoyable. It seemed detached from itself sometimes, but at a key moment in the film, I was literally leaning forward in my seat to try to catch a better look. Not for everyone, I think, but still I recommend it. And the movie proves once again that Willem DaFoe<\/a> is a fantastic actor.<\/p>\n

Back to the Jayne mines! Hat on the needles for Ohio, next up are Maryland, Florida, and Ohio again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
