One of my favorite pastimes is plopping in front of the television and knitting.  I get to feel productive while generally watching garbage/wasting time.  Since moving  I no longer have cable.  I didn’t think this was that big of a deal (we have netflix) until I mentioned it to some co - workers.  They gasped as if I had said I abuse puppies.  Seriously people what am I missing (besides Mythbusters, which I do miss)?

While watching my lack of cable last night I managed to finish the body of my February Lady Sweater.  Knitting sleeves is never my favorite part of a project, but not as bad as knitting thumbs on mittens.  Also, knowing that when I finish the sleeves there is no seaming is refreshing.

As I was working on this last night I was watching the Patriots pre-season game against the Giants.  I couldn’t help but think wouldn’t Tedy Bruschi look great in a nice fisherman/aran knit sweater?  Mr. Bruschi I’d be willing to knit you one in exchange for season tickets.
