I'd go for the metaphor between knitting and the intricated personality Simon has elaborated over the seasons with Patrick Jane's character, to our great pleasure.
Loop after loop, stitch after stich, multiple facets of guiltiness, angst, selfishness, but also care, humour, mischief, cleverness, darkness and light interlacing like threads to built a great character.
Of course, You can always tell you're sorry Lisbon has been a bit stingy, and that Patrick Jane has to wash his single pair of socks every night… So you decided to knit one another for him!  |

Thank you DS Pallas. Funny.
I just finished the note I want to add, I decided to not write much, I just thanked him for his amazing work on TM and all his other projects and that he brings so much joy to the fans.
I hope he even gets it ...but it's worth a try. And it's fun to knit socks for Simon/ PJ. Even if they never make it to him. |

I must say I like Simon better in casual outfit, but I've never was really into suits on men.
Great link, thanks, Fran.
Ivana, yes, I will post a photo as soon as they are finished on instagram and I can post the link here.
I don't have the hope I will see my socks on the show, but I hope that somehow I will know if they arrived at the TM office.

Just a short marketing industry article about Simon's new ANZ ad, so nothing new here, just a couple of mildly interesting comments.
ANZ uses Simon Baker and tiny art for latest brand campaign
ANZ has brought back The Mentalist actor Simon Baker for its latest advert which also uses the work of artist Willard Wigan, who creates his images in the eye of a needle.
The ad, by Whybin\TBWA Melbourne, compares the world of finance to the work of the artist, with Baker saying: “At first glance the world of finance can look large and complex, but in the right hands it can be distilled to something simple and understandable."
Whybin\TBWA Melbourne CEO Andrew Scott told Mumbrella: “It’s about making the complex more simple which is what the bank is driving to do and is doing. It came about around this idea of Willard Wigan who produces all of these amazing pieces of art in the eye of the needle.”
Simon Baker as his character in The Mentalist Patrick Jane has appeared in 23 ads in the series which first launched in 2011. He replaced ANZ’s character ‘Barbara the banker’. The campaign runs across TV, print and online.
“He’s been fantastic to work with,” Scott said. “Patrick Jane only appears in the TV and some of the online components. It runs in 29 countries in Asia Pacific as well not just Australia.”
The ANZ are currently touring the art exhibition featured in the commercial around the country, and it is set to travel to New Zealand and Singapore after that.

Quote Simon Baker as his character in The Mentalist Patrick Jane has appeared in 23 ads in the series which first launched in 2011.
We've got 14 of the ads but as we know, in some cases different versions of the ads were made for different geographic regions, so I don't know if the count of 23 includes the different versions or if there are 9 other ads that we haven't seen  |

I wonder if Simon Baker is watching the Mavericks surf competition this weekend. Apparently the wave heights are ridiculous because of a big storm. |

Funnily enough, the winner of the Mavericks surf competition is named… Baker!
