Attention span of a gnat

The new fall Knitty is up, in case you didn’t know.  I was smitten and cast on Mr. Greenjeans right away.  I’m using Cotton Ease in lime.  Here’s how it’s going so far:

Mr. Greenjeans

Sorry the picture is a bit dark.  We’ve entered the rainy season her in southern British Columbia.

This is the first time I’ve used Cotton-Ease and so far I like it.  Also in the picture are a pair of sock blockers I found at the Salvation Army a few weeks ago.  So cool and only 50 cents each.

I got an email from Knitpicks about the new Harmony needles last week.  Has anyone used them yet?  I am having a terrible time getting gauge for my Kauni cardigan and a friend suggested I try wood needles.  She says they have more grab and stretch out the floats better in fair isle too.  I thought I might order a couple of the Harmony needles and give them a try but I was wondering what others thought of the quality and such.

Dinner time and then a maybe a movie.  Watched Ocean’s Thirteen last night.  Meh.  Should have stopped at Eleven, the last two were not just not very enjoyable.
