I feel like getting some stuff off my chest.I like the tv show Murder She Wrote and I watch it sometimes on the Biography Channel. Also, when I work as an extra, I've lied about my dress size. This has gotten me into big trouble though. I get my news more often from the Daily Show than I do from newspapers or proper news programs. I only knit continental and I get confused when I try to knit English method. Okay, I can't really throw at all, even though I've tried many times.
There, I did it. The first few things that popped into my mind. I'm terribly embarrassed.
Your turn.

1. I LOVE Murder She Wrote! I get so much done while it's on.
2. I don't lie about my size, but I also have no idea what it is :) I don't buy enough clothes often enough to remember
3. I try to watch somesort of evening news, but quite often, my news comes from The Howard Stern show and Sirius OutQ News (can you tell I love my Sirius satalite?)
4. I have absolutely NO idea what the heck you knitters are talking about when you start throwing out continental/english :) Maybe someday I'll actually "get" it
Don't be embarrassed! Confession is good for the soul. (or so they say ;) )
I like MSW, too.
I lie to most people about my size. Only my best-best friend knows how much I weigh. hehehe
I can only throw, my left hand laughs when I try to make it hold yarn. It laughs out loud! just kidding.
1. I don't watch Murder, She Wrote but I never miss Celebrity Poker Showdown. Never. I tape it.
2. I lie about my weight on my resume. And my scale is wrong and I don't care.
3. I am a total cable news addict, but I would have a three-way with Jon and Stephen any time any day.
4. I mostly throw but sometimes pick. Why worry? You can knit in 3 or four colors Continental if you want and the Norwegian purl solves the whole purling thing beeyewtifully!
1) No one can bother me during any of the following tv shows: Law and Order (all 3 of them), the McLoughlin Group (gawd i love that show!),AND the Shield.
3) I am on Weight Watchers and go to meetings at 7am Saturday mornings...religiously!!
4)Sometimes I wish that I was a hippie 1970's homesteader...or a Scottish detective...I can never decide...
5)I have never tasted a beer that wasnt a Guinness or microbrew.
Hmmmm...
1. I watch Iron Chef (original and America)with a passion. In fact, it is about the only reason I turn on the television. Besides Trek for knitting bcackground.
2. I don't know my size(s). (I'm a guy, it's a valid excuse)
3. Knitting Continental scares me. I knit some funny distortion of English. I think.
A query. How does your dishcloth pattern feel about being knit with Fair Isle or Intarsia. I am considering learning a new skill, and was wondering if you know of any glaring difficulties adapting it to that.
I LOVED reading these! Thank you everyone. I guess I'm not so crazy afterall. (yeah, right)
Michael, I think intarsia would be great for the cloths, probably better than fair isle for this project. I thought about doing intarsia but it was faster and easier for me to duplicate stitch. Honestly, they would look better if the colors were knit in, instead of stitched on. I think fair isle would be challenging to make a useful washcloth with, considering all the floats on the backside. I look forward to seeing if you do it!
I'm feeling some inherent problems with intarsia so far. Namely lines where the letter shifts from a vertical to horizontal (or vice versae) line a few stitches over, within the same colour block. I think it could be remedied with starting ltos of itty-bitty yarn ends, but I am not ready for that. For now I shall concede and stick to duplicate stitch. Maybe I'll try again.
