OK, knitting...

I've finished the pattern-rows on the sweater sleeves and am progressing through the stockinette-stitch-with-increases-every-few-rows. I can see this done, so I'm eager to work on it. (when I have a pattern with both sleeves identical, I do them at the same time, knitting back and forth on a long circular needle. I don't know how many people do this, it seems logical to me).

I also finished the first beaded-rib sock and began the second, and started the belly for the lion cub from Kath Dalmeny's "World of Knitted Toys"

I watched two of the three movies I rented (I need to watch "Rushmore" tonight, they're due back Thurs.). "Undercover Brother" was funny but forgettable - I don't even remember most of the jokes now, two days after watching it. "The Man who Wasn't There" was interesting and atmospheric, but v. dark. Very much a film noir. Not quite my cup of tea. It's amazing how different the different Coen brothers movies are - "O Brother Where Art Thou" is a drama with comic moments, "Hudsucker Proxy" is almost slapstick, "Fargo" is a straight drama, and "Man Who..." is a very noir drama.
