Previous post: Sewing Saturday
I’m not a regular viewer of the ITV program that’s responsible for today’s M3 video. To be honest, I’m not any kind of viewer at all. I usually give it a wide berth, which is why I missed the memo on the K Factor contest that ran through the month of February. Apparently ITV put out a call for knitted contestants in late January, and Britain’s talented knitters responded.
Brother Amos - Knit with the saints or fry with the sinners, your feet will look great either way. Inspired by the fiery preacher in the British modern classic novel, Cold Comfort Farm, by Stella Gibbons, Brother Amos' socks feature a lace stitch pattern reminiscent of the flickering flames of hell where, according to Brother Amos, we're all doomed to "fritter and fry" for eternity.
Mrs Beeton - A free pattern, first published in Knitty.com, Mrs Beeton wrist warmers are the essence of romance, with soft ruffles that look wonderful peeking out from under a jacket sleeve, and beads that catch the light and sparkle at your wrists.
Driving Miss Daisy - Wrist-length fingerless driving gloves feature a daisy lace stitch pattern on the back of the hand, a thumb gusset for comfort, and a garter stitch wristband with single button closure for a snug and sassy fit.
Oh that video is hilarious. Thanks for sharing it.
That IS odd, isn’t it? I hope the knitted bears from The Mother Bear Project will stage an intervention and encourage the contestants to seek world betterment by providing snuggles, rather than chasing after fame and fortune in the fickle world of the knitted entertainment industry.
OMG! What a stitch (pun intended). Thanks for posting, I was just taking my knitting a little too seriously. Miss ya, Brenda!
Thanks for brightening my day. Only the Brits could make that work! LOL!
