Captain's Log, Stardate 01.06.2010 While in Arizona, I visited three knitting stores (all I had time and money for, unfortunately!) and bought this gorgeous yarn by Colinette. The model had this silk colorway with a pink mohair, which made it more pink than I wanted because I already have a very pink shawl and while I love pink, I wanted something both dramatic and different from, well, pink. So I paired this mostly pink silk colorway yarn with a greenish yellow mohair to get this gorgeous shawl that looks like pink sunshine! If you’re on Ravelry, you can see my more detailed notes here . Here’s the shawl! Isn’t it pretty? The mohair makes it very light and airy, while the silk gives it beautiful drape. I edged it with gold glass beads.

They are really stretching it out to get the three movies out of it.
also, the hobbit is an adventure, lighthearted, full of missteps and new characters. LOTR is the battle of good vs evil, and the trials of doing good for the sake of all. the hobbits movie is a little darker than I expected, but goes well with LOTR, but not as funny. still not one for the kids to watch, which is a major bummer since they know the book so well an play the very cool Lego video game.
Pete Jackson has a video blog about the making the hobbits trilogy, an in it he talks about using the appendixs, which works out pretty well. I've also has some good discussion about how on will break up the last two. I think he is also adding a lot of build- up for the why to LOTR (like how we got to learn the events that shape young Skywalker into dDarth Vader.)
I hope that you can understand this posting! this is my first attempt at typing on my new kindle! an it is a bit unnerving how it changes some o my words.
yes, see the hobbit in the theater, Don`t worry about your bladder as there are enough unnecessary battle scenes to skip. :) enjoy the audio book!!
