film buff
- ATONEMENT*****
Rich, lush theme-laden cinematography, nuanced characterizations, sets, costumes, scenes, and hot but not graphic sexuality, characterize this film that deals with the nature of truth and reality, subjectivity/objectivity and the underground currents of the heart. I haven't read the book, so can't compare, but the film is a must-see. I especially loved its treatment of the craziness of war.

it's a match
I found this (upper) at our new local shop, K2TOG, on Solano Avenue in Albany. It's Crystal's Palace's Panda Cotton, 55% bamboo, 24% cotton, 21% nylon. The color is practically a perfect match to their previous Baby Georgia (lower), so I guess that makes sense since it's the same company. Everyone always admires the color. I'll post a sample soon of the other substitute I found that looked harsh by comparison. This really is a nice sunshiney light yellow. The texture is really soft and nice for a baby, too, nicer than plain cotton for a baby blanket or baby clothes, I'd say. It's very easy to work with too, and doesn't need as much tugging as cotton. Knits more like wool.
