1. There is a pretty interesting yellow jacket by Spud & Chloe on page 10 (Porch Swing Cardi by Kirsten Kapur), the pattern is in a leaflet….but I’m thinking gray. Oh look, someone on ravelry has already knit a gray one. I do like this. I do. I do!

2. I found the Amy Miller spotlight article on page 42 interesting. I like her style – a mix of fresh and classic.
3. I wasn’t a huge fan of any of the patterns in this issue. I think I could see the cover sweater in blue and white, but I don’t love it enough to put in in my queue.


4. I stand corrected, there’s a gold sweater I really like the front of on page 71 (Midsummer Aran by Ginevra Martin), I don’t know if I see me wearing something THAT holey, but I do like it…what do you think?

1. It turns out I didn’t need to be worried that all the funny parts were in the previews.

2. Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy had near perfect comedic timing and the physical humor was hilarious. At one point I was laughing so hard I couldn’t breathe.
3. Marlon Wayans (Agent Levy) was cute and charming and in fact, my only complaint about the movie was that they could have developed the Agent Levy storyline a bit more. Maybe we’ll get lucky and there will be a sequel.
4. …and oh yes, at one point during the movie, Sandra was wearing a fair isle sweater and Melissa had a classic cardigan on that any knitter would envy. I loved it!

Melissa McCarthy was wearing a cardigan similar to this one, but I believe it was gray.

Sandra Bullock was wearing a sweater similar to this one, but I don't recall any reindeer.

1. This movie was a whole lot better than Olympus has Fallen. I quite enjoyed it and look forward to seeing it again via DVD.
2. The personal story was better – ie the beginning of this movie didn’t resemble Bambi.
3. I liked this president better. Jamie Foxx was likable/charming/funny/playing a well-written character.

4. …and I liked the costuming better. If you’re going to hire an action star with great arms, you should hire a costume designer smart enough to figure out a way to make sleeveless work with the script.

5. I mean, I’m not saying I would have complained about Channing Tatum wearing an aran sweater, but it would have made a lot less sense.

6. He’s wearing a lot of knitwear in The Vow, so it you are in the mood for Channing Tatum in a sweater, that’s your movie.
