Knitting - Survivor Style
What does Survivor have to do with knitting? Well, besides the obvious that you can knit while watching the show, right?
My daughter, Lessa, writes the Watching Survivor blog for 451 Press. (in fact, she is the one who encouraged me to submit a resume for this blog!) One night as she was helping me with various computer/blogging/technical/451 Press-type questions, she made a comment that sent me off searching . . .
Hey, Mom, maybe I can write about Survivors knitting with palm fronds!
Lessa - that’s a great idea - let’s go looking.
Of course, my search came up with a lot of patterns in the palm design and even a yarn or two. All of them were lovely, but not quite what I was looking for. I finally found it at one of my (quickly becoming) favorite sites, knitty.com: The Knitting Plant Freak Speaks. The article is written by Julie Theaker with a great sense of humor and a LOT of information of various plant fibers that can be used to knit.
It’s fun to know that there is always something new to learn - now, I wonder if I should knit my palm fronds using my bamboo needles?

*cracks UP* You know - it takes real talent to mingle Survivor and Knitting. Clearly, you are the master, mater!

Seriously, thanks Less and Summer!
