FO Friday - 5/22/2020

I needed a little summer sweater; so, I made one:

Pattern: Featherweight Cardigan by Hannah Fettig
Yarn: Emma's Yarn Practically Perfect Sock in Stiletto
Comments: I'm pretty late riding the Featherweight Cardigan train, but I'm glad I finally jumped on. The pattern is great. I didn't make any modifications. I really enjoyed knitting with this yarn. I'm so happy to have a cute, little sweater to wear this summer in venues 
where the air conditioning is blasting.

Maybe, one of these venues will be a restaurant sometime soon.

Movies - 5/19/2020

Based on the novel by the same name by Maria Semple, Where'd Ya Go, Bernadette? is a quirky dramedy. Cate Blanchett stars as the main character. She plays a mom who has cocooned her family in a house literally falling down around them, as she avoids people, places and things. Of course, we don't know why at the beginning of the story, but it gets juicy as it goes on. Billy Crudup, Emma Nelson and Kristen Wiig also star. It was good!

I watched The Chaperone on Masterpiece on PBS. It's loosely based on the life of Louise Brooks, who was a famous movie star in the 1920s. Elizabeth McGovern plays the chaperone hired by Brooks' mother to accompany her 15-year-old daughter to NYC to study dance. Haley Lu Richardson plays Brooks. Blythe Danner also stars. I enjoyed the show.

In other news, I've caught up with (binge-watched) the following shows. I recommend all of them:

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel - Amazon

Grace and Frankie -Amazon Prime

Little Fires Everywhere - Hulu

Shrill - Hulu

Why Women Kill - CBS All Access 

Picard - CBS 

After Life - Netflix

Start Something Sunday - 5/17/2020

The Featherweight Cardigan is off the needles. I'm hoping to block it this week in time for a Friday debut. 

Since the needles can't be empty for long, I started a Swoop Tee today.

I've already figured out what I am making next.

FO Friday - 5/1/2020

I have to show you this little FO. I made it in 2011. I still had to do a little embellishing, but I called it done and moved on. It was put in a safe place for an at-the-time unspecified recipient.  I came across it the other day and remembered about a birthday coming up soon. So, after a little fringing:

All the info can be found here.

I hope the recipient likes it.
