DIY Knitty Gritty & other stuff

Welcome back, Padishar! I've seen the show, WHEN Direct TV gives us the extra channels as a freeview. DH likes her too, so you're NOT alone, although HE (as a good DH 'should') says *I* should host it as *I'm easy on the eyes* too, lol! Hugs, Noreen

Hi Padishar,

Wow, what a neat place that yarn garden is. If I ever get back to Portland again I will definitely look for it. I do love that area, been there once many years ago and maybe someday will get back out there.

Great to see you back.

Hugs,

Nora

You really like knitty gritty?

I'm thinking about getting a tote bag with the knitsters logo on it:

Patishar,

I love to watch the show also. Yes the host is very attactive. I also love knit one, purl two on diynet. Edith is a little more experineced in knitting. Do you watch knit One, Purl Two?

Gail like Knitty Grittly also.

Hugs & God bless, Dennis & Gail

I also have started quilting and watch simply quilts as well. When my hands get tired of the needles then on to my latest quilting project. I am a sucker for tools and pretty much have them all for quilting as well as crochet/knit.

Edith Eig's accent bothers me some. Same with her insistence on listing prices on everything. Maybe it's the LA thing, but she overinflates the price a TON!

And another thing: Why do knitting shows feel the need to have the magic number of three novice knitters? They don't even have to do anything pertaining to the project, but it seems they have to be there!

Some kind person (Spike Driver inotherwords, you) sent me Knit One, Purl Two's schedule and I will watch it, thanks.

Padishar, Dennis is a VERY kind person, and I've watched the show as well, again, just like Knitty Gritty, WHEN directtv gives us freebies. I LIKE both shows! Hugs, Noreen

Your are very welcome Padishar.

Higs, Kather> Howdy,

------------------ I finally caught an episode of knit one, purl two with Edith. Very impressive and she is obviously very knowledgable. She turns me on with her accent and her needle manipulation...sigh, I am so easy

Interesting you should mention that ? Finnaly they gave `an Item` in the last Friday news ,, about the `new rage` [???] knitting ,, it was a bit stupidly done ,, but in showing a group of learners one had 3 `pupils ` one was a table ful with ladies ,,, anonucer kept saying it was about knitting and asked every shop or teacher he visited to teach him to knit ,,, only they showed hin crochet ??? It wasn`t at all well shown ... Besides the ITEM that knitting is Back They added that it was fashionable [yes ????] to wear your own handknitted sweater because it is unique !!!!! mirjam
