JOHNNY DEPP

It's FINALLY going to happen!!! I am going to have breakfast in bed with Johnny Depp!!! I was shopping for Grape Nuts, honest, & as I was strolling down the cereal aisle I saw the very the last thing that I ever expected to see in a cereal aisle; Johnny freaking Depp!!!! Of course I had to buy it! The description reads, "chocolate pearl shaped puffs with pirate shaped marshmallows". WTF?! is a pirate shape? There is one that is a yellow blob, a gold medallion perhaps? & one that KINDA looks like a sword. It's a far cry from clovers, moons, & diamonds. I don't plan on eating this stuff! Unless I find out that Johnny himself eats it! ; )

And in knitting news that is slightly less exciting than Johnny Depp cereal...
a top secret project in gorgeous manos #69, trimmed in a pretty blue manos... Sorry but I just don't remember the #, I got a small scrap ball of it from a pal. Some of you can probably guess what it is going to be. I don't think the recipient reads my blog, but just in case, I will save details til after the gift has been given. I really wanted to use malabrigo, but that big ole' shipment that we got in 2 weeks ago... 100% SOLD OUT!! We cannot keep the stuff in stock.

My felted slippers are moving along slowly, I am 75% done with the first one. I completely neglected them when I was working on that stripey sock. They knit up pretty quick when I stick to it, easily finished in 3 or 4 days. I promised myself to finish the slippers before I start the other sock. We'll just see how that plays out. I may wind up starting a whole new project

I will be working on Noro Iro for a shop sample, details to follow. & here is a photo of some Wool of the Andes in colors that just happen to look good in my living room, no further plans for them yet.

    Now I'll be drooling in my cereal! I collect Johnny Depp movies. I'm a bit disappointed he's marketing cereal, but, Hey! I'll be buying a box for the pic! :)

    So much lovely yarn. The WOA looks great together. Is it thinking of becoming a cozy afghan this fall?

    disney has gone too far. i can't imagine that johnny would have allowed his image on a ceral box. i can only assume that the fine print of his contract was too small for him to catch.

    I am drooling over all of your current projects! Everything looks amazing - you have impeccable taste, my dear. Think we can convince Kelloggs to mass produce Cillian Murphy cereal?
