My mom and I went to a movie that I've been wanting to see for awhile--ever since my brother recommended it to me in fact. Now You See Me is a magician heist movie--one that is intense because you are always asking yourself what is really going on in the face of the glitz and stage presence you are seeing on screen. I have to admit, I didn't see the ending coming, but I sure enjoyed the ride. I think I'd have to watch it a few more times before I got it all sorted out in my head though. I'm trying to decide where to put it in the ranking of my summer movie going spree... I think I'm going to have to call a tie...
1. Star Trek Into Darkness
2. Iron Man 3 and Now You See Me
3. Man of Steel
Now that they are safely on their way to a dear friends house, here are the socks I was working on while flying to the States and in the weeks shortly thereafter. This yarn has just a little bit more yellow in it than I like, but the it fits the name "Brazil" quite well. I've been using this to make up a couple of those little beaded bagletts as well. I definitely like the i-cord finishing rather than crochet.
I'm working on a pair of toe-up socks in a beautiful colorway for my mom right now, and plan to bock out my cowl this weekend (now that I have some time). The sock yarn I'm using has a little bit of mohair in it, which is rather disconcerting when you live in a house with three cats. I keep thinking I'm catching more cat hair than normal... I'm trying to keep from accumulating too much of a 'home stash,' so I might need to pull that ladder yarn out of the eave-space and play with it. If only sock yarn grew on trees...

you're making me jealous with all this movie watching! do you realize I probably won't even get to one when I'm home. :S oh well, maybe I can sneak out to one when in Lusaka! :P
the little baglettes look like fancy baby mitts. :)
