I love my dad. He’s the best. at everything.
He’s also hilarious.
He likes to garage sale and is a little bit of a hoarder, so he was the perfect person to go to when I wanted a wooden head/hat form for knit hats. This is what I got.

I didn’t have high expectations for this film, and it flew right by them. With a really strong soundtrack (John Waite, Guns N’ Roses, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, the Scorpions, Roy Orbison) and a lovable cast, this movie is destined to be a cult classic. It explores what makes us human while still being light-hearted and funny. I thought Nicholas Hoult did a great job of running like a zombie as R (for Romeo?). Also, he has gorgeous eyes. He’s officially the best-looking zombie…..um, ever? Dave Franco was just enough of a jackass that on the off chance his brain does get eaten, no one will really mind. Rob Corddry was so cute, I wanted to put him in my pocket and Teresa Palmer as Julie was a much more likable damsel in distress than oh, say, Kristen Stewart. I think it was the gun; she didn’t seem all that distressed.

In knitting news, there is a cable sweater prominently worn by Teresa Palmer. I like the 3/4 length sleeves and the cable pattern, but I wasn’t crazy about the neckline or the color.

Nevertheless, I was impressed with how it held its shape while sopping wet and did I mention I like the cable pattern?

I’ve been to Twisted Yarns in Old Town Spring before and had a chance to hit it again around New Year’s with J. I determined not to buy any yarn and was holding firm until they said all the yarn was 20% off. I’m not made of steel wool.

This is what I got. Fuchsia Ombre’ Fingering. I’m planning to try my first two at a time socks with it. I enjoy this LYS, so if you’re in the Houston area and have time for a trip to Spring, check it out!
