theraineysisters knitting and so much more

TV and Knitting — a combination that can’t be beat.  I hate just sitting and watching.  It seems like such a waste of time.  But if you KNIT while watching, that’s another story.  One of my favorite shows is Grey’s Anatomy.  I watch it every week.  I suppose it is a guilty pleasure because it is not PBS, but I really do enjoy it.  Last night was even better than usual.  All they did throughout the whole show was knit.  They were knitting everywhere!  Meredith (main character) was knitting to maintain her celibacy (that’s the reason I knit, by the way — not really, John, just a by product!).  Anyway, I digress.  It was great seeing knitting on the tube.  I have heard, but not seen, that they also knit on Desperate Housewives.  Does that mean we are cool or that the rest of the world has caught up with us? 

Project Update:  I finished the back and 1-1/2 of the fronts on my Summer Tweed Cardigan, rounded the bend on Ballerina and started a pair of socks. 

Speaking of “anatomy,” I continue to wonder about mine — do I have ankles or tree trunks?  The socks are too small so I must start them over.  I am making a pair with the same yarn that Sally used in #10 (see previous entry).  They look very different because my colorway is more monochromatic.  The ragwool effect is much less apparent.  Hers are much cuter.

I have not truly embraced sock knitting.  I made one pair and I’ve started many others.  I like the idea of sock knitting and every knitter seems hellbent on making socks, but I can’t seem to find my rhythm.  So, if I rip these out, they may not make it back onto the needles for a while.
