Baktus Done -- TV Guilty Pleasure Revealed

Maddie was kind enough to model Baktus for me, and I have to say, it looks quite cozy on her, doesn't it?  I love how you can put the point in front, wrap the ends around and tie it up all snug.

This was a quick and fun knit -- largely plain old stockinette with a tiny bit of shaping.  I completed it in a marathon knitting session last week while I was watching old episodes of Lost at hulu.  Stupidly, perhaps, I believed that I could watch all the existing episodes again before the season premier, but there are over 100 episodes and I started with less than a month in which to complete the task.  Let's just say that I'm not through season one yet. 

And while we are on the subject of TV, I have to reveal my pathetic TV secret -- I love watching The Bachelor.  Really it's more like a family sport (although we have to hide Maddie's eyes at certain points).  But we love having a running commentary about the craziness of the "characters" involved and the over the top dramas that unfold really get us going!  Guilty pleasure for sure.  Do you watch it?  (Or admit to watching it?)

Our daughter, the little fashion model! Those pics totally refute the idea that wearing glasses and braces makes you look like a dork.

Ditto on The Bachelor. I didn't think the show would have this long of a run, but the producers seem to be able to ramp up the insanity a little higher every season and keep things interesting.

Heck yeah, I'll admit to watching it! My neighbors all watch it together each week. I also watched 'Rock of Love" with Brett Michaels, and I've got to say, this season of The Bachelor is shaping up to be a lot like that show! You could have all kinds of drinking games: drink when they show Jake with his shirt off, drink when a contestant references being a "co-pilot", etc.

Cute wrap, by the way.

You mean garter stitch, right? Your model is cute, but I'd like to see this kind of thing on a normal-sized grown person before knitting it, personally. I have issues with triangle shawls not being wide enough to actually wrap over my large shoulders.
