Topic: Finished Object
So the triangular shawl was finished last night. This was true idiot knitting. The only "pattern" stitch I had to remember was to increase on the first stitch on every row. Picture tomorrow, I promise. I have to figure out whether or not to block this thing. It is very stretchy and I don't think blocking will do anything for it. It came out big enough to cover my "fluffiness".
I even started swatching for the boys sweaters. That will be easy as they will be made with acrylic so their mother doesn't wreck them when they are washed. Haven't settled on colors yet, but I have a ton of acrylic from afghan days. No sweat.
I know it may be considered a guilty pleasure by some, but I enjoy watching reality TV. Some of it is real crap, but there are a few that I enjoy. I really enjoy "Hell's Kitchen". Come on, there are others out there rooting for Elsie! A mother of 6 trying to win her own restaurant. Last night they showed 2 episodes back to back. My husband thinks Gordon Ramsay is too crass and doesn't need to be that tough to motivate people. I happen to like his method. It's not how I would do it, but he is a perfectionist and gives praise when it is due. They should have kicked off Andrew a long time ago. And I loved that Jimmy and Jessica both had to stand before Ramsay and defend themselves and Jessica got to stay because she stood up for herself. Neither of them has a lot of experience.
