The Wednesday before Thanksgiving I went out and missed that night's Pushing Daisies. I just got around to watching that episode and wanted to share some screencaps from the series.
We've long known that PI Emerson Cod knits:
Various items on his desk have knitted cozies. He has knit socks, in which he once stored (and still does?) some reward money:
He even knit holsters for his guns (and a sweater vest)!
And on this pre-Thanksgiving episode, there was a swift—with an automatic ball winder!—
invented by this guy for his grandmother, whose yarn was oh-so-tangled:
(I love how the diamonds in the wallpaper match the criss-crossing wood in the swift.) I doubt we'll ever see a swift and ball winder on prime-time network television again.
And if that's not enough to interest you in the show, there's piemaking, pie eating, fantastic sets,
(look at the colorful spools of thread and the vintage sewing machine!)
the adorable Digby, neat (or at least interesting) clothes (pants with peacock feathers!), and They Might Be Giants references!There's also dangerous amounts of cleavage (if that's what you're into).
Here, Olive shows us the lack of support her cleavage-bearing bras give her. I was interested in Pushing Daisies before it premiered, but I was worried about Kristin Chenoweth. I thought I wouldn't like her, but I was wrong. Olive and Emerson are my favorite characters.
I'm going to miss this show.
