. . . I am a great believer in symbolism. Things that stand for, mean, remind one of, other things. I surround myself with talismans --- in the house, in my car, even in my billfold. If I don't have something nearby that puts me in mind of something near, dear, irreplaceable, I feel sort of lost.
When it came time to choose the nominations start date for Knitters' Hunk and Knitters' Chick this year, a glance at the calendar made the decision simple.
Today is Robert Redford's birthday.
Nominations are open!
18 comments:
I'll start with 2 hunks and 2 babes.
Hunks: Neil Gaiman and my love, my dear Jeremy Irons.
Babes: Amanda Palmer and Mia Farrow (who is a knitter, and whose participation in making the world better is awesome).
Hunks:
1. Tom Hiddleston (yes, in spite of his 'relationship' with Taylor Swift and because of his relationship with HL)
2. Alan Cummings. WHY HAVE I NOT NOMINATED HIM BEFORE?
3. Alexander Skarsgard. Because I will nominate him until he wins. Or til the end of time, whichever comes first.
I need to think about the ladies so I will return!
OK a quick trip to 'celebrities who knit) (Teabird inspired me!) gives me these recommendations:
1. Tracey Ullman
2. The Duchess of Cambridge (have we ever had royalty nominated? Because ROYALTY)
3. Felicity Huffman.
Daniel Craig
Aidan Turner
Idris Elba
Helen Mirren
Angelina Jolie
Salma Hayek
Tim Foust from Home Free
Richard Dean Anderson
Mark Harmon
Joanna Gaines
Liv Tyler
Cote de Pablo
Have you read Alan Cummings' book? I donated my copy, or I'd send it to you.
Here is my political protest/satire list in this seemingly satirical year (because how could this year be real? it's not real, right?)
Jon Stewart
Larry Wilmore
Kevin Spacey
Samantha Bee

I just got it from the library.
OK, I messed up my previous attempt, so trying again.
James Norton (from Grantchester and a bunch of other stuff)
Jon Hamm
Denzel Washington
