tv night
16 05 2008
We've been catching up on our shows tonight, since it's too hot tonight to do anything that requires movement.
We just watched last night's episodes of Grey's Anatomy and Lost. Lost is making it so worth having stuck it out this far! I can't wait for more! Too bad all that's left is the season finale--who knows how long we'll have to wait for the next season.
We also watched Don't Forget the Lyrics, which has been entertaining lately. Nik is convinced that I should go on the show. Haha. I do know the words to lots of songs and I tend to do pretty well playing along from my couch, but I'm actually not quite enough of a Leo--I'm not really comfortable being the center of attention, except in small doses. If I ever did go on the show, though, I definitely would not go for the million dollar song. I've seen it attempted twice now, and both songs were impossible. (Seriously. Who knows every word to Milli Vanilli's Blame it on the Rain?)
I went to Twisted after work today and petted lots of Blue Moon Fiber Arts yarn. In addition to all three weights of Socks that Rock, they're also carrying Laci (100% merino laceweight--gorgeous 1750 yard skeins), Silk Thread (100% silk, very fine & beautiful), Luscious Single Silk (50% merino, 50% silk, DK weight, in huge 500 yard skeins!), and Woobu (60% merino, 40% bambu, DK weight, also in huge skeins of 620 yards). It was fascinating seeing how the same colorway can look completely different on a different base yarn. The most striking difference was the Woobu. I picked up a skein of it in what looked like a charcoal gray color and was surprised to see that it was Thraven, the same colorway I'd been drooling over in the Laci (and in the Luscious, for that matter). In the Woobu, Thraven looked like charcoal gray with very subtle greens. Lovely, but not obviously the same as the black with blues and greens I'd been looking at in the Laci.
I LOVE that color--it's so pretty in every yarn I looked at. I may have to get some someday...
