I didn't knit as much as usual last week, instead I crocheted Jeff a sweet cat cave. I caught up with and finished this season of Legion and was thoroughly entertained, helped along quite a bit by the appearances of a very groovy Jemaine Clement (of Flight of the Conchords fame) and the - I guess … Continue reading While I was knitting …

I started watching Legion a few weeks ago, having not read the comic and without knowing anything about the story arc. I'd seen previews for it and was initially attracted by ... well, I guess by the feel of it. I like most sci fi and I love sci fi that feels like its of … Continue reading While I was knitting …

It's the HBO free preview week from my cable provider, so I spent much of the weekend finishing the sleeves on my cardigan and catching up with Game of Thrones using HBO on demand. I have Verizon FiOS, so if you do too, you might have free HBO too! I thought I'd left off watching … Continue reading While I was knitting …

The sleeves on my Green Wood Cardi are taking . At least I've had plenty of time to catch up on Victoria. Rufus Sewell does not disappoint; there is some chemistry between his Lord M. and Jenna Coleman's Victoria, but that pales in comparison to what she and Albert have. A while back I saw … Continue reading While I was knitting …

It's been quite a while since my last knitting-related post. I'm still working on my Bohus cardi, The Green Wood. I started knitting the sleeves after we got back from New Zealand and I can't say that they're going as quickly as I would like. I've been distracted from knitting since we got back; since … Continue reading While I was knitting …

This week marked the end of both season 2 of Indian Summers and season 1 of The Durrels in Corfu on Masterpiece Theater (PBS in the States). There were no surprises with either show; they both ended in a predictable happy and satisfying, though unrealistic, way. I won't say more so I don't give away any … Continue reading While I was knitting …

Saturday, I drove to Richmond, VA with a friend and her daughter, who's taking a class from William and Mary for gifted students. I went along to keep Becky company and hang out while her daughter was in class. I somehow forgot to knit on the way down - it was dark when we set … Continue reading While I was knitting … November 8 edition

Some great shows have had their season premieres in the last few weeks; notably, The Walking Dead and Rectify. I'm sure you've all heard of The Walking Dead, the zombie apocalypse show where, much like Game of Thrones, no character is safe. The last season ended with a cliffhanger and the premiere was brutal, probably … Continue reading While I was knitting …

I finally finished reading Quiet Dell by Jayne Ann Phillips and will never get back those hours of my life. I kept hoping it would improve, but it was more shmaltzy romance (with terrible dialogue) than true crime exploration. I'm really disappointed; I remember reading Machine Dreams years ago and really enjoying it. The good news … Continue reading While I was knitting …

I really don't want all my blog post titles to be alliterative so I'm exploring some more interesting titles for them, including today - my second TV Tuesday While I was knitting ... post. While finishing up the Gir hat and the scarf, and getting started on the luchadore mask balaclava, I started watching River … Continue reading While I was knitting …
