I was tagged by Ei to do this
TV MeMe...so here it goes.
1. How much space is left on your TiVO or Camcast box?
I have every single cable station known to man, yet I have no TiVo. This continually saddens me. I do have a reminder feature on my Cable Box...but it is a sad replacement for a TiVo. I think I would love the TiVo more than any man ever. Well.... I love T.V. what can I say?
2. Have you ever bought a DVD of a TV series and if so which one?
Sex and the City (HBO) I, Claudius (PBS) and Pride and Prejudice (A&E:Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy...YUM!) oh! and Shogun (all 18 hours of it)
3. What was the last TV show you watched before reading this message?
News... looking for closings and weather info...SNOW
4. List five TV shows you won't miss.
I am not too crazy about...(forgive me if you see your fave show)
ER, Alias, Any of those Crime Dramas, Fear Factor, The Bachelor(ette)
5. Name 3 people you will pass the stick.
Keowdie, Tanya, Donna
Bookish MeMe From Lauren
What was the last book you read or are reading?
Audiobooks...I love Audiobooks
The Virgin's Lover by Philippa Gregory (Queen Elizabeth, I)
Next on the list : The Machine Crusade - Brian Herbert
Where did it come from (library, bookstore, gift, etc.)?
Audible.com and Simplyaudiobooks.com
How many books do you read per year?
Maybe 6
What is your favorite genre?
I love dramatized historic novels. For example Margaret George.
I also LOVE the Dune Series, even the ones written by the son. Hey, I will take what I can get. You can only read 6 books so many times. I believe I have read/watched/listened to Dune over 200 times. I am a geek. Ask my family. They had to suffer my quotations, incessant viewing and reading.
Who will you tag now?
Keowdie, Tanya, Donna
Knitting MeMe
Do you knit using the English or Continental Method?
Um, I am Continental I think. I used to knit twisted. I don't wrap the yarn around my fingers either. I just hold it and tug on the yarn to get proper tension. *gasp*
How long ago did you learn to knit?
3 years ago and some change
Who taught you how?
Like most knitters, from a book. No big deal.
What was your first FO?
A blue scarf. I still wear it. It's hideous
Favorite yarn?
Cascade 220 and Jo Sharp Silkroad Aran Tweed. Those are my favorites by way of sheer use.
Aesthetically, I love Phildar Phil Onde. It's the coolest yarn ever. IMHO
Favorite pattern you’ve knit so far?
It's between the French Market and Rogue. I enjoyed knitting both. Rogue amazes me that I have gotten this far... French Market was the first pattern I changed successfully. I get more complements on that bag. :) Tasha and I had a love hate relationship, but I still love her.
Favorite Pattern Source?
Duh, Knitty
Rebecca.
Favorite Needles?
Denise Interchangeables and Brittany Birch Double-points
Nicest thing you’ve ever knit?
My Phil Onde Sweater, and then it will be Rogue
Most hated project?
Audrey...still under my bed
Pass Along to?
Keowdie, Tanya, Donna
Stay tuned for my Rogue Grafting Extravaganza! That's right!
With this snow (6-11") I'll be home casting on for both sleeves. This will be my first time knitting two sleeves at once. oooh!
Check out Tanya's Felted Monkey. Everyone wants one. I am thinking I will see a "Monkey See Monkey Do Along" pretty soon. Awesome Job, T!
MAGKNITS is out!
Love the Tee, and the baby layette sweater.
Now I want to come to MD even more so I can see how you knit. It sounds interesting. The monkey knitalong title is so great. It's appropriate for any knitalong, but especially so for that one. Have a great snowy Rogue knitting day.
Posted by: Lauren at February 28, 2005 10:16 AMHey baby :) I have to try Audible.com, I have just heard so many good things about them, and I know I could get use out of it with my long stretches on the train! Now, I just need an iPod...
Thanks a lot for the news about MagKnits... over to check it out now.
Have a good snowy day, Miss H!

Thanks for the blog love, H. My theory was right about no pictures :) That's okay. I know that I need to get a new camera, I'm just having a hard time choosing one. I also love the KAL title. You're so very clever. I hope that we get to meet in person one day. You're just too cool for words!
Love ya, T
