I like the way dropstitch knitter thinks.

I think for this year, I am going to stick with my nerd boys:
David Tennant
John Barrowman
Nathan Fillion

Strangely, I think the chicks are harder!
Mindy Kaling
Maura Tierney
Can we nominate the deceased? Because man, it would've been awesome to knit with Eleanor Roosevelt.

Kristen Bell (and if she wins with Craig Ferguson, we can have the best knitting entertainment ever)
Matt Bomer, so beautiful.

I'm so torn. Go with old faves? Start to branch out? Retro? Young 'uns?

So here it is - with annotations:
1. Jimmy Fallon. I'm an unabashed Fal Pal. This year, I'm sending you the pic because I want to make sure everyone sees him in his very cutest light
2. Jon Stewart - can't get enough.
3. My new entry - Jeff Daniels. Well, really, Will McAvoy, because I'm loving that character to death on The Newsroom!

Ladies? I'll be back to you on that one.

Here we go!

Idris Elba
Benedict Cumberbatch
Patrick Stewart

Babes? I'm going to have to think on that one a bit.

Lorette said...

OK, babes. This was a bit more difficult.

Maggie Smith. Not a glamorous babe, but wickedly funny, I'd like to have tea with her.
Meryl Streep, quite possibly the best actress of our time.
Christina Hendricks, because I had to pick at least one "babe" babe.

And I'd pick Eleanor Roosevelt, too, if dead women were allowed.

Kim in Oregon said...

OK. Why didn't I know this had opened? Why am I having so many problems posting comments? Why why why why why?
So mine are:
1. Alexander Skarsgard with the little dottie thing.
2. Adrian Grenier
3. Richard Gere
