Now that's Genius!

Oh my goodness!! Oh freaking cool is this? I know its not the first time that there has been a pattern on women's bronzer and eye-shadow but something that resonates with every knitting dork?! Now that's genius!

Physician's formula Bronzer - starting a cable pattern, stockinette and garter stitch. How fabulous!
Revlon aint too far behind either - their eye shadows fashion the stockinette stitch in different orientations.

Another shot of the Revlon eye shadows. How very fancy!
And lets face it - these patterns are so pretty that they would appeal to anyone, even though they may not be into knitting simply because all our sweaters and knitted clothing use these patterns and stitches! So, anyone who has ever paid attention to the detail of their clothing would look at these and go, "Hey, those look pretty cool!" Again, brilliant marketing which is simply genius!

My Life is a Bad Project

My last blog post was on a funny knitting advertisement. I usually like to blog about my knitting projects. However, I recently came across another really funny video which I think deserves special mention since it sums up my life 'to the T'.

Im in graduate school, working towards getting my PhD in Oncological Sciences and actually started knitting since I felt very unproductive at work. Knitting was a great way for me to feel like I was accomplishing something positive in my life, since work was just being a bitch (to put it lightly).

Anyways, so this video called 'Bad Project' is simply brilliant and is dedicated to all the folks in graduate school who feel like this describes their life appropriately.

Enjoy:


On side note: other than the content of this video being absolutely hilarious and fantastic, the costumes are quite creative and genius as well!
