I absolutely love the cables that are knitted up both sides of the pullover I'm making. They're gorgeous and surprisingly easy to do. I've made crazy progress in the last two weeks, and I have about twenty more rows to knit before splitting the sweater for the armholes.
Below is a close-up of the cables. In both pictures you are seeing the right side of the sweater in the center with half of the front and half of the back on either side. Which means those cables are also on the opposite side of the fabric. They pattern also pulls the fabric in at the waist to provide a more fitted look. That was what sold me on this particular pattern. The last two sweaters I knitted were done the same width at the waist as at the bust and hips - a completely unflattering look.
Jason and I watched a recording of The Reduced Shakespeare Company performing Shakespeare's complete works. It was hilarious. If you're a fan of literature, especially Shakespeare, then I highly recommend it. I nearly spent the entire ninety minutes doubled over in laughter.
Othello as a rap song...
Adam (of the RSC) says he does not want to play the part of Ophelia because she is a very complicated character. He didn't want to reduce her to just the get-thee-to-a-nunnery scene. Because he refuses to participate, they pull an audience member on the stage to play Ophelia. In order to get her in-character, they involve the other audience members by making them be Ophelia's ego, id, an superego. I almost died of laughter when they asked the people in the front to throw their arms in the air and say, "Maybe, maybe not!"
(And if you want to see the conclusion to that clip above you can find it here.)
