Ok, I didn't notice that Javier Bardem was in the movie too!!!! This brings it to a whole notha level for me. He has to be the sexiest guy onscreen. If you haven't seen Vicki Christina Barcelona, then treat yourself.

So now I am really interested and I visit Elizabeth Gilbert's website. It is there I discover something more than expected. For you creative minds out there, Elizabeth gives a talk for TED and what begins as a nervous commentary, soon impresses as a soulful "take" on how to understand divine creative intervention; those brilliant ideas we know not where they came from. One of my most popular designs came in a dream. I literally woke up with the idea for Celeste. But mostly, I spend hours on ideas and even more on getting those ideas out there.

After visiting TED, you will discover other great talks, including ones from James Cameron and (one I thoroughly enjoyed) Steve Jobs - "Trust that the dots will connect down the road." With that, I'll spend the rest of the day designing fabric, trusting that however I create, whether I design knitwear, fabric or a room; whether I write stories, poems or greeting cards, I am showing up for work.

It's coming Ladies!!!! Cornball Chick Flick, I know, but you know your gonna Luuuuuuuuuuv it! Check it out at You Tube.

Finally, another one finished! This is a super cozy cardie, easy and fast to make. Go to Fall/Winter pattern page to find it.

Alina is almost finished knitting the Bren Cardigan and waiting on me for the button bands and collar. I said I have to research what is happening for Fall 2010, as the collar I have in mind is cowl-ish in nature and will next winter's fashions support that? Happily, it will. Here are some finds from Style.com, a source I often venture to:

I could personally wear these two and can imagine some great knitwear designs inspired by them. But the cowl lives on!!!!!!!!
