This is the fingerless mitt I made for my daughter.  I still need to make another one.  The heart patter shows up much better now the I how how to do yarn overs properly.  The stripy section at the top is where I went back and forth to make the thumb hole.  If I was better at knitting I probably could have made a heart in there but I really didn't want to deal with it. If I ever do it again I'll see what I can do.  I worked on some charity knitting and my brother in-law's hat.  The hat is made really long then you fold up the bottom to make a lining.  It feels weird because it seems bigger than normal but that could be my imagination.  You were supposed to get 4.5 stitches to the inch but I got 5 so I went up a needle size.  I'm still getting 5 but I don't want to go up another needle size.  I'm trying to just trust the pattern but I feel a little like I'm going to have to rip it out and start again smaller. We'll see.

What I was doing yesterday instead of blogging was finishing up My Lovely Girl.  It wasn't my favorite drama.  I've seen worse and I wouldn't say it was bad just not as good as I was hoping.  A famous song writer is in a car accident with his girlfriend and she dies and he survives.  This turns him into a recluse and no one knows where he is for three years.  One strange night his dead girlfriend's phone, which is supposed to be deactivated, rings. (Why he has his dead girlfriend's phone is not something I am going to try and figure out) He listens to a voice message from her sister saying how hard it is and how much she has to struggle trying to make it in Soul.  He decides to find the sister and try and help her.  Of course there is confusion, misunderstandings, and hurt feeling for a lot of situations and different people.  The idea behind the drama is not bad and Rain is in it but it wasn't as fun as it could have been.  I kind of didn't like that they started with a mystical situation but then mostly dropped it till the end.  If they wanted to go that rout there should have been more and if they didn't want it they should have found another way for the couple to get together.  My biggest problem was Krystal Jung (from FX) who played the leading lady Yoon Se Na.  I haven't watched another drama that she has been in so I don't know if she is a bad actress or if that is just the way the character was written and directed. I know she is supposed to struggle but she seems like she almost always has a blank sad expression on her face.  I think some of it is I prefer my female characters with a little more spunk. There was a lot of crying in the drama but it still felt cold and stiff to me and I'm not sure why.  It should say something that I cried more over the dog than I did the people.  I wouldn't say not to watch it but keep you expectations low and there are a ton better ones out there.

I caught up on Running Man and I am on track with Modern Farmer, Tomorrow's Cantabile, and Pinocchio.  Right now I'm working on Pride and Prejudice.  After that I might watch Blade Man.  I passed it over at first because the premise seemed silly but I have been told it's good.  The other one that I might try and watch is The King's Face.  I have a long list like always.

It snowed a lot yesterday. Some of it has melted but it wasn't fun, I had to put a coat on just to do the laundry.  I pulled the turkey out of freezer so it can thaw.  The kids have off tomorrow so I'll try to blog but I might miss it.  Have a great day
