"Knitty Gritty" - Hot Off the Press
The July 2004 issue of "Satellite Direct" came in the morning's mail.
On the cover was Vickie Howell whose new show "Knitty Gritty" was featured. With a two-page story, "Knitty Gritty" premiers July 2 at 10 a.m. ET on the "Do it Yourself" network. To highlight the story: " 'Along with just teaching you the basics, we're teaching you how to apply knitting to your life. Whether you're a teenager or a 50-year-old, we try to make the show boundary-less,' said Howell. The show has an unexpected and wild sense of homor. In an effort to prove that wool is actually warmer when it's wet, one episode actually found Howell deluged with a bucket of water." This promises to be interesting! grin Dianne |

You need to look into DirectTV. You might be more "rural" than I, but I
don't think that's a problem anymore. They give you free everything, plus good deals to start. We finally got rid of cable when DirectTV offered us local channels just this past late winter. I was surprised how few "craft" shows there are. The magazine listed just a few. All those channels and needlework is barely a presence.

We checked into it when it first became available here but I don't remember why we decided not to get it. We should probably check into again. -- Joan See my first-ever design he http://www.heritageshoppe.com/joan.jpg "Stitch when you are young and poor, frame when you are old and rich." - Elizabeth's (rctn'r) sister's MIL (Barbara Marr) |

DIY is only available on the digital cable tier in my area so I won't
see this either. As for how few craft shows are on the air, I'm not surprised. How many of us really want to waste valuable stitching time trying to make ourselves look good enough to be on tv? {g&d&r} As for the kaput satellite dish...do you decorate it for the holidays? My father glares at me every time I suggest that use for his. Dianne Lewandowski wrote: You need to look into DirectTV. You might be more "rural" than I, but I don't think that's a problem anymore.

At least that way you would get something out of it. :-) Liz from Humbug |

I think there was even a water fall or a brook. (this was one of the those huge dishes - 30 foot or more!) And there was the one a la the tipped over bucket. If I can remember the site with "tacky" garden art, I'll post it. Cheryl |

used it as a sort of raised bed. At least that way you would get something out of it. :-) There is a thought.... The house we bought already had one of the big monstrosities in the yard, we already had the smaller DirecTV dish and service, so it sits out there, slowly rusting. I've considered planting morning glories around it.

Caryn And moon flowers and scarlet runner beans and lab labs..... Cheryl One of these days I'm going to take pictures of my yard, satellite dish and all, and send them to you for gardening advice/planning! BTW, so far the daylilies haven't been nibbled by any of Bambi's cousins! Yippeeee!
