1. I didn’t love this movie.


2. The chase scene was so poorly done I started to feel sick.

3. This movie felt like a 2 hour Mercedes commercial. Idea for a drinking game: Watch this movie and drink every time you see a Mercedes logo. (Please drink responsibly and always designate a driver.)

4. This is what I was knitting (K2P2 ribbing for the leg of a sock).


5. The Husband and I saw A Good Day to Die Hard at 2pm Saturday with some friends. Then we got together with them that night and watched Live Free or Die Hard because we were in the mood to watch a good Die Hard movie that day. True Story.

I’m kind of cheating because this isn’t my finished object, but it is super cool and Turtle said I could blog it, so here we go.
She used this tutorial for a double-pointed needle holder to make me my very own one of a kind…….

Knitzi Holder!

I’m super excited because my Knitzis are really pretty wooden handmade sock in progress holders that The Husband has given me and I hate to think of them getting dusty on my hobby room shelves in between socks.
Didn’t she do a fantastic job?!? I love it! Thank you, Turtle!!!

By now, you’ve probably figured out that I have a bit of a Gray fetish. No, not THAT Gray. Gray yarn. So, I went stash diving to find the right gray for the toes of The Husband’s Gentleman’s Fancy Socks. I found 50 shades of gray (ok, 9) and they are (from left):
Koigu Painter’s Palette Premium Merino
Cascade Heritage Silk
Handwerks So Soft Sock – Milkweed
String Theory Bluestocking – Pewter
Socks that Rock Medium – Stormy Weather
Plucky Knitter Primo Fingering – Elegant Elephant
Lorna’s Laces Solemate – Buckingham Fountain
Knit Pick’s Palette – Mist
MacKintosh Iona Fingering – Senka


I narrowed it down to three I’d be willing to part with and let The Husband pick from:
MacKintosh (cause I’m still ticked at this yarn),
Cascade (cause it didn’t cost an arm and a leg)
Lorna’s Laces (cause these socks are Solemate, and I like matchy matchy).
Drumroll, please……….

The toes of the Gentleman’s Fancy Socks will be Cascade. He chose wisely.
