TVknittingpodcast Episode 28

I'm Back!!!

Here are a few pictures of where Emily and I stayed, and of the 3 parks in Disney that we visited:

One of many beautiful views from Bay Lake Towers. We rented DVC points, I highly recommend this! Great room at a value price.


My favorite shot I took at Epcot. I don't know where my vantage point was!


This is Magic Kingdom's gorgeous nighttime parade. We saw the nighttime shows at Magic Kingdom, Epcot and Disney's Hollywood studios. These shows are a favorite of mine, and worth staking out your place early.



It may surprise you, but my favorite park is Disney's Hollywood Studios. I love the music, it is smaller and easier to navigate, a little less crowded, and it has some killer rides.


Tower of Terror is my Favorite Theme park ride of all time. Bad pic, but Em and I are in the second row on the left. She lost her phone during this ride, but it was retrieved by a cast member!


We had a blast. Not our first, OR our last trip. We will return with the boys when it is a cooler month. (They are wimps).



Stitchery:

So, enough of Disney. On to the knitting!

I finished the body of the Jackie tank. I loved knitting this, even though I did not finish before Ravellenics. I love knitting in the round. I just need to add the ruffle, finish the neckline and weave in all the ENDS. Bleh.


So I started the Damson shawl. I love knitting this. Very mindful knitting.


This Week in TV:

I watched 2 new shows, "Go On" which I liked, and "Animal Practice" which I did not. Your mileage may vary!!
