a cunning feat

lookee i finished something. i bet all you readers forgot what a finished object looks like here at chez fun. info...

JAYNE HAT
DSC02657
pattern: combo of this pattern and this one
yarn: brown sheep bulky in spice (red), rust (orange) and lemon drop (yellow)
needles: 10.5 16" clover circs
pattern notes: i combined the two popular patterns for jayne's hat into one to get my hat. i cast on for the craftster pattern hat (my first time using cable cast on) but used a decrease method similar to the one from superfly (spiral decreases). and the earflaps i only made 16 stitches wide (instead of the 20 that the craftster pattern was asking for). all in all, a very quick and satifying experience. i finished the hat in one evening but i still need to make the pom pom, which is why i did not include it in the picture. i've never actually even made a pom pom but i am thinking that it's not that hard. i feel so much better finishing this before serenity comes out. i am not planning on wearing it to the movie, however, since i'll be alone and i'd rather not call attention to myself. but everyone should go to the movie so it makes big bucks. friday, y'all. be there.

i spent the entire weekend doing pretty much nothing. did a bit of shopping and i bought two pairs of jeans. this is huge news for me since i never find pants that fit and my old jeans have holes in them. holes, people, and not on purpose. i seriously need to do some fall shopping. more pants and more shirts and some boots. i feel like, well i know that i am wearing the same clothes to work every week. i am sure my coworkers would love to see me in some new duds. hopefully i will get to do some more shopping next weekend.

besides that, i was quite productive this evening, as i went to my friend vanessa's house and watched a crapload of tv. saw grey's anatomy, desperate housewives, the west wing and the family guy. lots of good tv viewing on sunday nights this season.

ooh and we saw flightplan on friday. let's just say it wasn't too good. the acting was good but the plot was just poor and the twist wasn't great and there were just too many plotholes to hold the thing together. my friend's mom kept calling it panic plane and that sums is up pretty well. i'd save my buckeroos for something better if i could help it.
