Hello all, another week has passed and I got some progress on my projects. I am really thankful for WIP Wednesdays because not only do I get to update all of you on my knitting/crocheting progress but I get to have a weekly record of what's going on in my life. I look back even on last year's posts and see what I was talking about.
The weather has stayed lovely but the longer it stays the more it makes me think of back to school and fall. Not that I don't love those things but I am not ready to run to class 2X a week. It just makes life busy and less time for knitting.
Once again, this was one of the main focuses this week. I just want to get this blanket done so I keep pushing and with the yellow and green block complete I have 51 blocks done. Over half way there!
The yellow parts are my favorite
I am really happy with how this is coming along. I really like all of the colors I picked and can't wait to put it together.
Other Projects
I did manage to bind off something and hope to have a FO post soon. Since I got a project off of the needles, it was time to start 2 more. I started Cherry Sundry and Happy Street which are lovely new shawls. I can't wait to get more done to show you the awesome colors I picked.
Anyway, that was my week. Hope yours is going well.
Welcome back. This is a weekly meme where bloggers can share their thoughts on movies. Any movie review is welcome including, new releases, old favorites or new found favorites.
I have watched this movie quite a bit since I bought it. It's Aca-awesome! I did get to see this in the theaters when it was released and made sure I got it for my iPad when it was released.
The movie is about an anti social girl Beca, who heads to college even though she doesn't want to be there. She wants to be in LA getting a start in the music production/DJ industry, but was forbidden by her parents to go. So as an enticement to join in the college experience, her dad makes a deal with her to join a group on campus and if she still wants to go to LA next year she can go.
So many groups to choose from and she chooses the Barden Bellas. The all-girl a Capella group on campus that is desperate for new singers. The scenes to whip these new girls into aca-shape were hilarious. The one singer is called Fat Amy and she steals the movie. Seriously, she is my hero.
As with any college comedy, there is a romantic element. Jess is a member of the Treblemakers at Barden and the sworn aca-enemies of the Bellas. Awesome music and John Hughes have roles in potentially bringing these two together.
Overall a great movie that makes me think I want to join an a Capella group but then I think, mmm... better not. What I have reviewed:

I don't know if it's because I blogged more but this month actually felt long. Perhaps it was because I didn't take too much vacation. Curse you 5 day work week! Anyway, whether it's the length or the heat this month was very productive. I got so much done and I am really pleased with my progress. When I went back to collect the photos from the month I realized I just finished the first quadrant of my Hue Shift Blanket, I hadn't even though about my White Centered Granny and I was just diving into Movie Madness Monday. What a month!
