No pictures of the shrug tonight…I blocked it and now it is too big.  I am re-blocking it and if that doesn’t work, well…I will pull out a few rows, me-thinks.  Not sure if that is the right solution, though, because I am not sure we want the back any narrower.  Me must think on it for awhile.  I kinda think I don’t want to knit it again.

I got a bazillion skeins of sock yarn in the shop yesterday and am still working on getting it on the shelf between customers and friends coming to visit.  I brought a ball of yarn home today to play around with a little bit on a pattern that the Dip Lady steered me towards on Ravelry.  Pictures soon.

The bride and I rented “Becoming Jane” the other day and I knit, she worked in her invitations while we watched it.  I’m not sure what I thought of it to be honest.  There were a few things that could have been left out.  There were some confusing parts that we didn’t figure out until we’d watched it the 3rd time….it was rather comical when one of us would finally say “who in the world is that?” and the other one was wondering the same thing.  It’s like you can’t connect who some of the people are.  But on the other hand, I love Jane Austen and most things connected to her so there were definitely parts I enjoyed also.  We even looked up Tom LeFroy on Wikipedia to see if he was real (he was).  It was fun.  the other funny part of watching it is that we finally had to put the captioning on because we couldn’t understand what they were saying too much of the time.  All in all, we had a fun afternoon and the next morning when we watched it the 3rd time.

Hubby and I just went for a short walk and I’ll be headed to bed as soon as one little imp gets finished with his ice cream.

Hopefully something more fun to report tomorrow!
