At home. On the sofa.
Watching movies (Jane Eyre, Caine Mutiny) and documentaries (Himalayas, Twins.)
Part of the time I had tea and luscious chocolate cookies on the table beside me, and all of the time I had a blankie and a heating pad tucked comfortably over me.
It was heaven. I mean, seriously - how long is it since I've done that? Six weeks maybe? That is just not healthy.
Aside: the clothes in Jane Eyre are so Whoa. Even the simple dresses are stunning! I remember when the movie came out people were going berserko over the shawl she wore in it, and seeing it in motion I know why. Carol Sunday designed a cute version of that shawl - love her stuff - and Melody Maria Fulone designed a pair of pretty lace mitts similar to the ones Jane wears in some other scenes (but you have to crochet for those.)
And now for what I know you really want to see (not):
Yes! Cue the pooling! Well, it's not too bad really - just around the ankle where the stitch count goes a little crazypants, and then back to striping, which is a nice surprise since half the stitches are not being manipulated by the pattern any more.
The pooling on the other side of the sock is also striking:
I loved yesterday so much I want to do it again today with either TCM or the last two Harry Potters for company, even though I really do need to clean at least some of the house before nightfall. I don't know what I'd do without houseguests really - not much else motivates me to take time for the vacuum, you know?
So let's cue the suspense: how far can I get on the Zombies before it's too dark outside to take a picture? Will they catch up to the Monets? Will I be unexpectedly called away and made to finish the second Monet in a car or bus before the Zombies can gain ground?
Oh dear, I don't know whether I'm up to all this excitement...
