Hamlet!

Finally.

The David Tennant / Sir Patrick Stewart RSC production will premiere in the US tonight on PBS. 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time, and it will show for a while after on the PBS website.

(And I'm knitting a pair of 1950 cable socks in khaki yarn. For me. I've sized them down by using #0 needles. I'm on the toe of sock one.)

Happy Birthday David Tennant, and Welcome, Matt Smith

Odd mix, really, but there you go.

Today (though with Blogger's vagaries, the date will probably show wrong) is David Tennant's 39th birthday. Happy Birthday, Mr. Tennant, and I'm greatly looking forward to seeing "Hamlet" on Wednesday, April 28th!

Next, Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor. Well done! You're marvelous--loony and scatterbrained and brilliant. I loved "The Eleventh Hour" and am looking forward to the rest of the episodes for this season.

(Knitting? Another Cozy. This one rather over sized, and made of a charcoal tweed. Not wool, an acrylic/cotton blend, as it's for my mother-in-law, who is, sadly, allergic to wool. It's coming along nicely. It's going to be lap afghan sized, and will be very easy to care for.)
