more tangles & favorite movies ~
By Sarah | May 1, 2011
Remember that tangled yarn contest a few weeks ago? Well, we’ve been at it again – making a mess of things.
Ready to tackle some tangles? Leave me a comment. I want to know your top three favorite moves of all time. Purely classics? New releases? Guilty pleasure movies from the 80′s? Film noir? Chick flicks? Westerns? Action/Adventure? Inquiring minds really want to know!
Comments will be accepted until Wednesday morning, May 4th at which time I’ll drag out the trusty random number generator to choose the winner.
Two’s Company – Primo Worsted
I promised you an extra update or two this month, didn’t I? It’s a date! Today as a matter of fact. Sunday, May 1st at 9:00 p.m. Eastern. The shop will be full of primo, cashmere, colorwork sets, MCN Lite and primo fingering pre-orders (in some of the new repeatables even – Mossy Marvel, Cozy Posey, Roasted Pumpkin to name a few). Please note, instead of a sneak-update, the update will go live all at once. Oh, and don’t forget about the free shipping – that’s always a good thing!

My three fav movies…oh that is tuff…
I just watched the directors cut of Robin Hood with Russell Crowe. Something about a common person doing uncommon things is always thrilling.
Next is without a doubt Out of Africa…the love story of holding on two tight and then letting go…so beautiful
the BBC version of Pride and Prejudice…no matter how many times I watch that movie I fall in love. I don’t dare put it on when working as I always end up sitting…..hmmm perfect for balling yarn.
I am so excited about your new update…I always seem to miss them!

Thanks for the giveaway! My favorite all-time movies are as follows:

2. The Lake House: Such a guilty pleasure! My, my two Sandra Bullock movies in a row!
3. The Lord of the Rings Trilogy: I know, this is three movies in of itself. When my husband and I were dating, we used to watch these movies and really bond through discussion.
