Look what's on the clothes line
Two krazy kimono panels
This is really a cautionary tale. The second kimono panel on the right needs to be frogged half way because somehow in the knitting it started to bloat. I must have picked up a stitch or two by mistake, very easy to do with funky novelty yarns. Did I count stitches along the way? No. Did I count the number of stitches when I got my width on the first panel? No.
Live life and learn.
Daily rant: One would think public television had more class. But reality programming has captured even the imagination of Birkenstock-shod PBS producers. Have any of you heard of "Warrior Challenge?" This program pits U.S. and British teams culled from each nation's respective militaries to compete as historic warriors, Romans, Knights, Vikings and Gladiators. I fail to see the educational value in watching of bunch of smelly blokes (they do throw a token chick in occasionally) beating the crap out of each other with historical implements.
In the interest of full disclosure, I must admit to a fondness for "Pioneer Quest," but my interest is strictly prurient, I assure you. ("Pioneer Quest" aired on the History Channel and is now running on PBS stations. It showcases the manufactured scenario of two couples "homesteading" in Manitoba for one year.) Will they make it? Will they come to blows? How will the couples get, um, any privacy? These are not questions of history. These are questions of interpersonal dynamics. I miss "Front Line." Pout.
