Tomorrow I knit!

I came home with bed in mind but I sat at the computer first. Four hours later and I'm still here. There wasn't a bit of knitting done this night. Instead, I played with my blog format, read a few others, checked out Ravelry, downloaded some patterns from Knit and Crochet Today, bought a book on eBay (with USM/Bond patterns), and generally killed time sitting in front of a computer. Isn't that just like work?!? Tomorrow, I knit!

Knit and Crochet Today, is a great addition to the stitcher's viewing lineup since our options are so limited, however, I'm terribly unimpressed by host Kassie DePaiva. Thankfully, at the end of each episode, Linda Cyr demonstrates the techniques that were presented. Kassie acts so silly and does such a poor job as "student" that she interferes with the guests demonstrations. Check it out on your local PBS station. You'll see what I mean...

It is important to note that the show has some very interesting guests. I was extremely pleased to see Detroit's own Karen Kendrick-Hands, owner of City Knits, on the "purse" episode!

Here's a random observation: I've become such a fan of watching recorded television with DVR that I want the ability to rewind or fast forward other aspects of my life (i.e., conversations, radio). Anybody feel me?
