So you think you can KNIT
Now don't get too excited, I'm not creating yet another competitive knitting challenge, I'm just declaring my love for the cheesiest show on TV - it is totally a guilty pleasure, but I love it. (Although, using that show as a model for a knitting competition would be quite hilarious - pitting knitters of all different styles against each other in styles they are not accustomed to, then having a "knit for your life" challenge at the end to see who gets kicked off? Hee hee.)
Anyway, back to the original point of this post. I don't know if anyone else watches this show but last night's episode was SO good. All the couples are starting to dance really well together and it's just like watching them grow up before my eyes... so cute.
Thank you for all your nice comments on the hat! I really like it too, even though its obviously way to hot to wear it right now. It will go in the Christmas gift stash! I have about another skein and a half (the same amount I used to make the hat - 50g skeins), what should I do with it? Here are my thoughts:
a. Make another hat just like the last one
b. Make a different hat
c. Make some kind of accessory to match the hat (but what?)
d. Add it to my log cabin blanket
e. Stash it
Carla is coming along nicely, as well. I figured out how to correct my mistakes in the pattern without ripping (every other stitch is a yarnover - not fun), so that is really good. I should have the front finished soon to show you.

I am OBSESSED with that show. I think the Cuban Rumba and the Argentine Tango were the best last night.
THe only problem that I have with that show is that just like I think I can sing after watching an episode of American Idol, I totally think I can dance after watching this. And, ask my boyfriend, I really can't.

I love that show too!!! It is awesome, reminds me of the good ol' days of Star Search.
Your hat turned out awesome by the way! I love the colors :)

I don't get abc, nbc, cbs, you know the good ones. Until our new dish is put up. : (
You should make another hat or maybe matching hand warmers!

Haven't caught on to the idol and dancing shows. (Yeah, I know I'm weird, but my boys keep me entertained) The previews for the new America Has Talent reminds me of an updated Gong Show (heehee). My guilty pleasure is watching Dog The Bounty Hunter. I'd probably knit another hat just to see how different it would look with the same beautiful yarn.

I saw So You Think You Can Dance for the first time while in CA. Haven't missed a show since! The auditions were just as hilarious as the American Idol auditions and for all the same reasons. While Bryan isn't so into it, I do make him watch all the really good dances so that he can gain some appreciation for it.
My vote for the yarn would be to add it to your Log Cabin blanket!
