shoulder to shoulder

Well 1 more inch and then some ribbing and I'll be done with one side.

I just love the fabric and color this yarn creates.

I didn't push myself tonight, still giving the hands a bit of a rest. I have been catching up with Sex and the City at nights, and I just love watching Mikhail Baryshnikov (pssst, I know how to pronounce this one hehe). Do you have any idea who this man is? He is so amazing. My mother had a big thing for him when I was growing up. We used to sit and watch his Ballet's on VHS all the time, over and over. My mother loves Ballet, she had this one tape of him and he was like a mad scientist and he kills himself at the end and it was so amzingly done.

I reccomend the movie "White Nihgts" (1985 Drama), it was really good. Not only was he an artist, but he could do amazing things with his body, there has been no great ballet dancer sence him. He was I guess the end of an era.

I think he is still as handsome as ever. I often wonder if he still dances.

Congrats on aunthood!

I love White Nights!!!!!
When I was a kid, my brother and I used to play 'ballet' all the time. He used to wear my (pink) tights...I like to mention that whenever possible.

I've never posted/commented before but I love everything you've made (long time lurker). I had to comment on Misha since I'm a dancer myself. He does still dance (mostly modern) with White Oak that he also runs. He is still so amazing. My personal fav movie of his is "The Turning Point" beautiful dance sequences and an okay plot plus Shirley McClaine and Anne Bancroft. Perfection.

Another Misha lover here! Earlier this week I was making a list of my favorite films that still aren't available on DVD, and White Nights is definitely near the top. The ballet sequence at the beginning always sends chills down my back.

I also LOVED White Nights. I haven't seen it forever. And I had a mad crush on M.B.
