Easy knits

My current knitting project
I simply love easy knits.
In parts because I’m really not an advanced knitter. I have no concept of knitting with multiple colours and am awed and baffled when people knit complicated patterns. I keep wondering what they do with those extra threads!
Another reason why I love easy knits is because I can knit while watching tv. Not everything on that box is captivating and I feel more patient for the program I’m watching if I have something to do.
Yesterday I reached behind the sofa and picked up the boyfriend’s scarf. It’s been behind there snugly in a plastic bag all summer (it’s been HOT here, and knitting has been the furthest from my mind!). I had a couple of episodes of So You Think You Can Dance - America on backlog and it was time to see them before the grand finale this week. And since there’s a lot of blabla and comercials on this show it’s perfect as a knitting companion.
The reason why I had a couple of episodes on backlog is because no matter how much I love that show I’m beginning to seriously tire of Mary Murphy. That woman is a screamer, and I’m happy I’m not one of her fellow judges. That scream is piercing, annoying and on the fast track to ruin one of my favourite shows on tv! But yesterday I had a cunning plan. And that cunning plan was the mute button on my super fancy remote control. And I have to say: So You Think You Can Dance minus horrible screeching makes for both brilliant entertainment and a super knitting companion!
