i can't believe that the weekend has flown by already. i had a pretty uneventful weekend. friday night i took myself out on a date to see kung fu panda. despite the screaming child behind me, i enjoyed the movie very much. unlike a lot of these animated films where it's all about the celebrity voices (remember the awful shark tale?), this one had a really good story and was very funny. i love that david cross played one of the kung fu masters. brilliant!

unfortunately i haven't been doing much knitting lately. my mind is constantly thinking about what things i want to knit next but it's hard to find the time to finish the stuff i already have started. i did finish one fingerless glove tonight. i am working on the delicato pattern by knitspot. i really love anne's patterns and have bought a bunch of them recently. hopefully i'll finish up the second one soon and will have some fo pics to show you. while not much knitting has been going on, i have been adding to the stash. i ordered some yarn from one planet yarn and fiber about a month ago but it was backordered. i finally got it today and it's soooooo pretty!



it's the lanas puras laceweight and it's a lovely single ply yarn similar to the malabrigo lace yarn. and i just love the colors! i've been a bit obsessed lately with the twilight book series by stephenie meyer (teen love between a vampire and a human - what more could you want?) so i've been looking for some yarns/patterns that are sort of inspired by the books. the colors above, twilight (blue) and passion (red), are just perfect. i have some shawl ideas in mind for them. of course i probably won't get around to them for awhile but at least i have the yarn now.

wow - 2 posts in 2 weeks. how long can this streak last? guess we'll see. off to add these yarns to my ravelry stash now and to read a few pages of persuasion before bed. good night!
