First up, Hemlock Ring Blanket, in its unblocked glory:

Pattern – Hemlock Ring Blanket by Jared Flood
Yarn Called For – 600 yards of heavy worsted weight yarn, Cascade Ecological Wool used, Latte (8063)
Yarn Used – 1/2 skein of Farmhouse Yarn Sweater Skein in Wine Rose
Needles – Denise size 10
Gauge – N/A
Knit – October 10, 2007 to November 04, 2007
Modifications – None

Despite the yarn breaking and giving me a hard time, This is a very quick knit, although it can get kinda boring at the end. I ended it where Jared ended his and since it isn’t blocked, I don’t have the exact measurement. But I do love the color. I have some leftover yarn, I might make one for myself in the future. If I get a chance to block it before my mom goes home, I’ll post another picture.

So any of you out there watch the Patriots game? What a game! Glad that they had a good come back! Speaking of football, I was very impressed with NBC network. All the NBC family network is having the “turn the lights off” initiatives to raise the awareness of being Green, and to educate their watchers the importance of environmental issues we are facing. At the half time game of Cowboys vs. Eagle, they turn off the lights and light the candles, and the anchormen talked about the upcoming segments from Arctic, Antarctica, and Equator – How much have changed from the past 10 years. It is great that a major television network is doing such initiatives.

Well, 25 hours a day sure is great, but it doesn’t last. Night all.

Being as scientific as I am, I don’t usually catch any mistakes on CSI, however today, I did.

So anyone who knits or likes fiber as much as I do know that, angora rabbit produces angora fur, and angora goat produces mohair. Both have very soft hand and very brushed look to it.

Tonight, David and I were just watching an old episode of CSI that I’ve never seen before (it’s rare, but it happens) while I was winding some yarn, Catherine and Nick found some “angora” on the boy’s body. Catherine proceeded to say that the angora fiber came from angora goat. Ding ding ding – alarm went off and immediately I said, “She’s wrong!! She’s Wrong!! Angora fiber comes from angora bunny, not angora goat! Angora goat produces mohair!!!”

Ok, I am a dork…

Have you watch House on Fox before? If you haven’t, it’s worth watching! From the sarcastic comments to amazing diagnosis, Dr. House will have you captured for the hour and come back for more! This past week, the doc was on a case where a beautiful super model had cancer at a place that you wouldn’t even imagine that could happen. I am hooked and I can’t wait for the next episode!

So anyone watching “Dancing with the Stars”? I LOVE THAT SHOW! I’m not usually a reality TV watcher, but I LOVE ballroom! It is always so much fun to see who is better. I did some ballroom when I was in college and let me tell you, it is A LOT of work! It looks real easy and pretty but it’s HARD WORK! It works different muscles that you don’t usually use but I guess that’s how all the dancers stay so lean!

Maybe I should pick up ballroom again…
