this hat made from knitty's half dome pattern. i made the medium size but this hat came out way too big. i don't think my gauge was way off but for some reason this thing is huge. so it's not going to my friend and will be donated to my charity knitting group. i hope there are some orphanage kids with big heads. i do like the colors a lot, though (patons classic wool in brown and teal) and will be making a smaller hat for my friend. another reason i wanted to try this pattern was because it had raglan decreases instead of the usual spirals. it's pretty cool looking.
that's all i have to show you. i am going to a musical called sweet charity tomorrow afternoon with some friends. molly ringwald's in it. i've never been a huge ringwald girl (somehow i missed the brat pack obsession that all my friends have) but my friends talked me into it. it actually got bad reviews but it couldn't be worse than the little women musical we saw. man was that bad. and my mission this weekend is to find a halloween costume. i really have no idea what to be and halloween's practically here. i am even co-hosting a halloween party so i really need to find something soon.
i finally got to see the departed last weekend. i'd seen the original it's based on (a chinese film called infernal affairs-i just realized after all this time that it's inFernal affairs and not inTernal affairs.) anyways, i wasn't super excited about seeing it since i already knew the plot, but i went and saw it and i must say that i enjoyed it a lot. the story is pretty similar to the original, except for a few twists, and i thought that the performances of all the actors was really solid. that's all for tonight. i was bad this week and bought some yarn online so i'll have some yarn to show soon. have a fantastic weekend!
