Knitting Competitively

Can you believe this? There's a knitting reality competition thing! I haven't watched any of it yet, but I plan to. ("Will you watch or will you swatch?" Very clever!) Speaking of that, did you watch Project Runway's premiere? I think the judges got it wrong - I would've sent sustainability boy home for making his model CRY. How pitiful was that? (No, seriously, the Army chick should've gone home for not using the real parachute fabric, in my opinion.) But wasn't it funny when Zac Posen told him he released dangerous toxins in the air when he burned a synthetic fiber - awesome moment.

Okay, the Gulf Coast Girls' Sewing Weekend is coming up - GCGSW for short. It's not quite as big as Mimi G's fabulous weekend, but Sandra Betzina WILL be making an appearance...on my DVD player. More details to follow, and pictures of course.

But first I have to get rid of this knitting bug. I realized my shrug was going to be way too big with my Berroco bulky yarn and needles, so I'm frogging it (I hope that's what "frogging" means) and doing a T-shirt from my Yarn Girls book - I'll show you a pic later of the pattern, but here's what I've got so far.

Off to watch some competitive knitting...
