Lettie's Birthday at Disneyland

So, the story is, a producer quit Knitty Gritty after one week of production, and super-hero Lettie comes in to save the day. Unfortunately, this falls on her birthday... so we had to make it up with a trip to Disney!


So, I popped in later in the afternoon to join my friends. This is use #2 of the annual pass.


Allan, Stacy, Julie, and Lettie at Indiana Jones.




Allan, in a constant state of shock and awe.


Hangin' with the elephants.


Wish you were here.


Me and Kelvis.




How does she get around?










Jag and Kelvis. Why is my mouth always open?








All aboard for some half coffee/half hot chocolate.


It's A Small World, and the slowest boat in the fleet! The only reason why we made it was because of the force of the boats behind us. I like Stacy's little face here.




Take a closer look. He's choking the chicken.




Matterhorn fun!




Thunder Mountain.


Wee!


They made me go on Splash Mountain.


And we lived to tell about it.

We Are Old and Tired and We Drink in Hotels

So, after a week of hard labor, "throwing down" isn't quite what it was in our younger years.


Here's Matt and I at the Crescent in Beverly Hills.
This was much more our speed. And you can't beat the chutney burgers and berry mojitos.


Just be sure to sit up straight or you may get sucked into a deep sleep on the couch.

More Knitty Gritty

We are knitting fiends.


Vickie and Shannita.


And that wraps up week two of production. 8 shows down, 5 more to go!

This is what life should be like

Under the most stressful of situations blooms the best moment of my life.

If you weren't there it's likely you will not understand the impact of a moment like this. However, for a minute I felt at peace with the world. Life should always be like this.


During our on-stage rehearsal for Shannita Williams-Alleyne's Rasta Hat show, the personal cameras went wild. This is our art director Dave in the background.


And there he is again.


Watch out for the camera phones! This is Shane, our jib op.


It kept going and going...


And you can see our director Jose sneaking in the back with his camera phone.


Dacheux and her camera. Inseperable.

Knitty Gritty Seasons 4, 5, 6

Where have I been? I've been CONSUMED by DIY Network's Knitty Gritty. It's seasons 4, 5, and 6 all rolled in to 3 weeks. Good stuff right?

They got me a toilet for my bathroom show.

I was told this is the epitome of Allan. It's colorful, it's blurry, and he's smiling.


Vickie with Jenna Adorno. This was for the polo episode.


And Jenna brought some fabulous knitsters.

We have too much fun :)


And you can see Vickie in the monitor behind us.

More to come!

Sophie Sleeping

It's been a while since I've seen my dog. I miss her.

Jagknits

I've gone cuff crazy, because at this point that is all I have the patience for. I have a problem with immediate gratification.



This was done using Blue Sky Alpacas. So soft and lovely.

I am currently also working on: Brian's gigantic camouflage blanket, a sampler cuff for Anthony, fingerless gloves, a shrug/stole thingy...
