How do I love thee? Let me count the ways?
When I need an ever-so-quick pick-me-up, nothing does it quite like Christine's Stay-On Baby Booties. I use just about any fingering weight yarn I have - sock yarn, baby yarn, cotton, merino, acrylic, etc. I always use a set of 5 dpns for this as the patterns works best with a needle on each side of the rectangle. They take almost no time to knit. These are about the perfect amount of knitting for 2 movies. I managed to watch The King's Speech while knitting these. I loved that Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle were reunited in a film - albeit not opposite each other this time as they were in Pride and Prejudice. This time she played the wife of the speech therapist. I think Helena Bonham Carter reigned supreme as the Queen Mum. Geoffrey Rush? Well, what can you say. I want to hire him as a speech therapist at home. And Colin Firth? How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
But you already knew I had a little celebrity crush on him...
I was so excited when Colin Firth won! I still haven't seen The King's Speech but it's on my list of things to watch.

I think the King's Speech is the best movie I have seen in a long time. I am not up on British history so this was kinda new to me....but the way the movie was presented, didtit make you enjoy the Royals as REAL people!
