Little things are the cutest

Just finished a baby cardigan for a friend of mine last week.
It's just rather cute, its so tiny and bitty and adorable.
It's in a lovely pale green (as we didn't know what flavour bump would be)

If you fancy making it yourself you can find the pattern here... http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/puerperium-cardigan

Game of Thrones - Here be Dragons, and SPOILERS (Books vs TV)

So Im lying here, trying yo go to sleep, and tonights Season 4 finale of GoT's is circling around in my head. (Please excuse the poor grammer/ spelling, I really should have been asleep a while ago!) And yes I know this isn't knitting related, but I was knitting as I watched it, so that TOTALLY counts! 

I know at this point they're making a lot of changes between the books and the TV show, and in order to stay sane and still enjoy both I should treat them as two srperate entities, but Im rubbish at compartmentalising.

So here's my thoughts, from a book readers perspective...

1) Other than the wisdom of riding your cavalry through the woods, I loved Stanis turning up at the wall. It looked amazing.  Properly breath taking.  No issues here at all (Ok, except Davos being there, which is fine 'cos I loves him,  and seriously did Stanis hace his wife and daughter in amongst his cavalry men as they got there pretty damn quick? Oh and no Val, Dala, baby etc... but again, understandable)

2) Brienne/ Arya / The Hound
Ok, I could quibble about this, but Im not going to. It was brutal. Properly gory. And finger bitting to watch. They've made us love Brienne and The Hound, so there was no winning here, which I loved. And the scene with Arya and The Hound... Perfection.

3) Daenarys. I want her gown. I had the feels when she locked the dragons away. It was done brilliantly. (Although, as an aside, isnt Viseryon white in the books?)

Then I run into trouble.. and if you havent read the books, skip this bit.

4) The Mountain & Qyburn - Because theyve introduced Qyburn to Kings Landing early, you have him trying to save The Mountain. In the books its Pycelle trying to save the Mountain and failing. We believe in the books the mountain dies, his head gets sent to Dorne (we believe) its only later we begin to doubt this. So they're changing things around here, and Im curioys to see how that will go. Not a complaint.  I can live with the changes, and I understand them. But it does raise questions.

5) Beyond the Wall - No coldhands?! Killing Jojen?! And was it just me who felt the reveal of the three eyed raven was rushed?! Plus, he was not nearly gross or horrific enough! The fight with the skellingtons was cool, but it just felt too rushed for me. Also Bran in the show is pretty much fully caught up with book Brsn so what now?

6) Tyrion - Now for me this felt really rushed, and my biggest complaint.  No mention at all of Tysha, which I get (cut charachters/ save time)  but Tyrion & Jaime parted as friends. This means Tyrion still believes he gas Jaime in his corner. No coversation about "Where Whores Go", all in all it just didnt feel tragic enough. Plus, Varys, you suck at disguise! Like no one will mention to Cerci that they saw you boarding a boat with a big box!!

7) The missing charachter.  Well I'd kind of forgotten we were expecting her, and I frankly dont care as it means other storylines can continue for a while. She'll turn up when she's ready!

And thats it. Im done. Maybe I can sleep now.
