Knit and Crochet Blog Week Day 7: Your knitting and crochet time.



I travel a lot for work (and fun!), so a lot of my knitting is done on the road. I like to work on smaller projects (hats, mitts, socks) when traveling, for ease of transport. Usually I keep two projects with me, the necessary needles, and any extra flotsam needed for that particular project. One thing I've learned--people find knitting with a set of double pointed needles to be extremely impressive. Must just be the mass of needles and all the pointy ends.

And here comes somewhat embarrassing confession time. I really like to knit while watching TV. But you know, only educational programs.


Bum bum.


I can't help it! I know it's the mental equivalent of junk food, but it's my favorite show to knit to. First of all, it's on pretty much all the time. I've probably seen them all, so I don't have to give it my rapt attention. And what can I say? I love every over the top twist and knowing that the SVU squad is ON THE CASE.

And that wraps up the week...I've had a lot of fun participating in the 2nd Knit and Crochet Blog Week, thanks for reading! I've found a lot of new blogs to read, and I hope you'll visit me again too.

  1. Oh my gosh! I knit to that show too! Or I did until I finished all the seasons. Nothing is better than knitting to a good crime drama, especially SVU. Bum bum.

  10. I'm with Vivianne - I'm into the new Hawaii Five-0. Of course, I liked the syndicated old one too.

    We've all confessed to crafty tv-watching. C'est la vie, and all that. :)

  11. I knit while watching crappy TV. Sometimes I'll be highbrow and put on a PBS documentary but it's mostly just mindless junk tv so I don't really have to pay attention to plot.

    I love all the flavours of L&O although Criminal Intent is my favourite. I'm a big Goran fan.
