Season Premiere

Who else joined me in watching the much-anticipated premiere of season 3 of Downton Abbey last night??  I think I started getting anxious around 4:30pm.

Plotting together.

I think the Dowager Countess is becoming my favorite character this season, after loving Mary's character so much in the previous year (and Sybil tying with Mary as Branson's relationship increased).

What was your favorite part of the premiere episode?

It May Be Classified as an Addiction at this Point...

...my ear warmer knitting that is.

I think the discovery of Downton Abbey pushed it to an obsession.

I wonder if this show will bring some of this fashion back into style?

So elegant & graceful

Because the show is so intense and sucks you in, I have to have something in my hands to be working my excitement out but the pattern can't be anything too complex or I mess it up in all the excitement & anticipation.

Especially last night, watching the season finale!

And since the ear warmer pattern is just that well memorized for me, I am able to crank out at least one if not two ear warmers per episode! [Though it is more like one and half per episode].

Yeah.... this is some of the *damage* of that.

Now if only I enjoyed sewing buttons as much (and as quickly) as I do the knitting part..... [because that is all that holds them back from the shop].

Really pretty collar

Hmm... this may be the most feminine I've ever considered looking..... I wonder if Dowton Abbey is having an effect on me....  anyone else caught under this show's spell?
