notorious

Teen wound up staying home from school today. By the time I got home from work, she was heavily wallowing in the misery of a terrible, terrible cold. Sometimes she's the world's biggest drama queen, and I had to talk her down a little. She doesn't get sick very often, and it's like the end of the world when she does. Worse. Than. A. Man. She told us at 6:30 she was going up to bed, but Brad wouldn't let her. He was afraid that she'd wake up again at 9 and not be able to fall asleep again. To keep her up, I put on another one of TCM's "31 Days of Oscar" movies - Notorious. Alfred Hitchcock, Cary Grant, Ingrid Bergman. A classic. I think it's in my top 10 all-time favorite movies. I was about teen's age when I started getting into old movies, and it seemed like she really liked this one.

I actually finished another piece of the sweater and got a smidge done on the third. I should be able to finish that tomorrow night, and then I just have to knit the short sleeves and assemble it (including knitting the neckband). Don't think I'll be able to finish it this weekend, but I'm getting there. She may still be able to wear it while it's cold! Then I can move onto the next project, which will either be Bella's Christmas sweater for next year or one of the purses that Jess showed me.
