Just so you know that not everyone at 6222 Rockfish Valley Hwy is weather obsessed …
I was working on the next issue and had DIY on mute (and had Coldplay up on iTunes). On pops the KnittyCam.
Still a fervent believer that knitting is not a sport despite what my husband says, it seems like the folks at DIY take knitting quite seriously. I am willing to bet this guy knit this snazzy skull cap himelf!
And then, the kicker! They bring in this poor guy and make him model a teal boa!
See his Oh-my-gosh-I can’t-believe-I’m-doing-this grin? Reason #3471 television is scary and should be avoided.

Okay Yvette…
I’m going to get knit-picky. Until now, I’ve stayed silent over your competitive knitting slams - no more - you’ve gone too far. Tommy has been right all along and it’s time for you to admit it!

An apology isn’t out of the question. However, for a full blown mea culpa retraction, I think you should email us a picture of yourself engaging in the sport. I have heard of knitting helmets. Do you wear one when you knit?

Oh Yvette…
Still with the jibes. Of course I don’t wear a helmet - protective goggles yes, helmet no. And warming up is essential to avoid injury. I like to do a few deep knuckle bends, finger curls and wrist flaps.
Still waiting for - uh you know - that apology and retraction…
