Finally... A Monday to be excited about!

I finished up a Felted Box from Mason Dixon Knitting a while ago, and finally got around to taking a few pics. [Click pictures to enlarge]


It was a very easy knit. I used size 10.5's instead of the size 15's you're supposed to use because I didn't check the errata. I also used some Reynolds Lopi I had laying around as opposed to the Lamb's Pride Bulky the pattern calls for. It was knit without incident, and almost no allergy due to the fact I wore long sleeves and kept everything that touched the yarn away from my mouth.

All in all, I like it. I'll probably knit another one eventually. It was a quick knit, and it's the perfect size to store my circs!



I've made some pretty decent headway on the Lady Eleanor Stole. I really love knitting this up and can't wait to see the finished product.

This weekend was very relaxing, which was exactly what I needed. I spent Friday night with my good friends Dave and Robby. Dave and I went shopping. The best part of the night was when we hit up Pier One. They were having a big sale so I ended up buying some curtains. He also gave me a bulletin board that he had no use for. I decided to use it for knitting related purposes. [You can also see part of the curtains I bought in the pic.]



Tonight Boondock Saints is playing in select theaters as a promotion for the special edition DVD releasing tomorrow. I bought four tickets a few weeks ago and after grabbing a quick bite to eat, my brother Dave, my friend Lauren, and Gabe and I will all be heading out to see it. I'm uber excited about this. Boondock Saints is one of my all time favorite movies and I imagine that seeing it on the big screen will be quite the experience.

I'm also excited about seeing Gabe. I haven't seen him since the weekend we spent in Massachusetts due to life just being a little busy for us both the past two weeks or so. I really enjoy spending time with him and am starting to miss him a little more than I thought I would.
