This movie was a pleasant surprise. I was looking for a serious movie to watch without having to resort to live-action.
It's a Canadian movie produced by Donald Sutherland (Who is also cast in it). It comes across as a supplement your teacher would use when learning about something. But it's a great movie even outside of the classroom. Kids will enjoy it if they like Pirates and adults will learn a thing or two as well.

About the only love song missing from this movie was Frank Sinatra's L.O.V.E.
This movie is 90% musical numbers and I was okay with that. The reviews for the movie aren't great but I really enjoyed it. Of course I love Disney movies and musicals so that's probably part of it.

I tried watching the anime having played the game a bit first. I didn't really enjoy the game, it's very repetitive, maybe enjoyable for kids.
I thank Animal Crossing for me recognizing the stag beetles in the opening scene.
I liked the quote: 'You get what you get and you don't get upset', said by the british ghost Jeeves...er...Whisper.

This show caught my eye when I was looking for something short to watch to pass the time between going out.
Immediately I was struck with the vivid cheerfulness of the colours, everything is bright and pastel, like a monitor with the brightness cranked up a bit too high.
The story seems very typical so far...

This the third and final part of my Hateful Eight series.
This time we're looking at Daisy Domergue's lovely bumpy orangey scarf.
I wasn't able to get a good look at the ends so I'm unsure if it has fringes. It's a nice textured fabric and I decided to go with a Double Moss Stitch to get that look.

We get our first glimpse at another Well-Keepress this chapter.
I enjoyed their interchanges, especially the one in the arena.
There was a tiny hint of 'not what it seems' about Arlet. I'm not quite sure where it's leading though. I liked Estri's misgivings about relying on technology too much, it does tend to fail when you need it most.

One thing I've never understood as a knitter is fiber snottery. I don't understand it so thoroughly that I had to make up my own word!
I love a good ball of purple super saver acrylic as much as I love a skein of soft blue baby llama.

I noticed the section beside my couch was getting taken over by yarn projects and tools. I have a small basket there right now but it was overflowing with many things, including a blue blanket WIP, making it look as if it was crying blue fibre-y tears.
I found a pattern on ravelry for a Rectangular Basket , I figured it was a sort of poetic justice if I used yarn that was causing part of the mess to make a basket to organize the mess.
I worked on this basket for a good 4 hours, using up all my grey yarn. (50 shades of grey basket?)

This is part two of my Hateful Eight series.
This time we're looking at Bob The Mexicans lovely ribbed scarf.
I used Redheart Super Value yarn in Grey Ragg, it was the closest colourway I could find in my stash that matched Bob's scarf.
It's a squishy, cozy, ribbed scarf that goes on forever!

I've had ALOT of extra time on my hands lately, so I've spent most of it knitting and crocheting.
As a result my hands have been going numb and tingly when I go to bed at night. That means it was a goooood days work!
