Is this the cutest sweater I've ever knit, or just the cutest baby model?

And now for a few adult-sized creations:

First of three matching hats

As you can see, the knitting continues. It's COLD here. Single digit temps and we just keep on getting snow. So I might as well surround myself with wool! It gives me something to do while we watch TV. Speaking of which, here are a few highlights:
- The Queen's Gambit (Netflix) - We were late to the game on this one, but it totally delivered! Very unique show about a chess prodigy finding her way in the world.
- Ted Lasso - Unfortunately this is on Apple TV, which most people don't seem to have. But if you DO have it, this show is both funny and heartwarming (the magic Schitt's Creek combination).
- Murder on Middle Beach (HBO) - I'm a sucker for true crime and this series delivered. The interesting twist here is that the film maker is investigating the murder of his own mother ... and the suspects include his father and other close relatives.
- All Creatures Great and Small (PBS) - I've officially turned into my parents. But what could be better than a show about a small town vet in 1930s Yorkshire? The only problem is getting Riley to stop growling at the animals. We also tried our hand at making Yorkshire pudding. I wasn't sure I had ever had a Yorkshire pudding, but felt compelled to try. Absolutely delicious (though definitely not low cal!).
- Soul (Disney+) - Does Pixar ever disappoint? This movie was fantastic, with Jamie Foxx as the main character trying to get back to earth for the gig of a lifetime. And yes, as with all Pixar movies, I was in tears at the end.
- One Night in Miami (Amazon Prime) - Great story, great acting, great script - this totally felt like a play imagining the conversation Muhammad Ali, Sam Cooke, Malcom X, and Jim Brown might have had over the course of a night in the 60s.
- The Sound of Metal (Amazon Prime) - This movie really took me by surprise. It's a slow burn about a drummer who suddenly loses his hearing. If Riz Ahmed doesn't win some kind of an award for this thing, I'll be devastated. He was that good.
Obviously, we get ALL the channels! I'm not sure what we'll watch next, but am thinking we might give
Succession (HBO) a try. Stay tuned :)
