Someone asked on my wiw thread how I knit so much plain stockinette without dying of boredom, and the answer is that I do it while watching tv. I can mostly do it without looking, and there are enough breaks for scoring and commercials to do the stuff that requires looking, like changing directions or shaping. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olympics-and-wardrobe-effect#post-1174799 Sat, 22 Feb 2014 23:34:08 +0000 Mia 1174799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>cinnamon Fern- Brilliant! Buttons next but tomorrow it will be in the early a.m. so will probably just drink coffee!</p> <p>Lyn - skating is wonderful to watch. I just try to ignore the marks :)</p> <p>Mo- I agree that playing for national pride makes for great games</p> <p>Freckles and Echo - I actually was amazed I could do two things at once. Shorter duration I am glued to the screen. I too will have to adjust after tomorrow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olympics-and-wardrobe-effect#post-1174777 Sat, 22 Feb 2014 23:05:24 +0000 Echo 1174777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I watch so intently that I could never get anything done while the games are on. DH makes fun of me because I sway back and forth while watching slalom skiing! No changes to my wardrobe as a result, although I really love the Russian warm-up jackets with the stylized dragon/gryffin and bird on them, and I love seeing Johnny Weir and Tara Lipinsky commenting on skating because I love to see their outfits! Johnny Weir is just so out-there and I love that NBC appears not to have stifled his creativity in any way.</p> <p>I will be very sad when the Olympics end. :' ( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olympics-and-wardrobe-effect#post-1174773 Sat, 22 Feb 2014 23:00:23 +0000 Freckles 1174773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mia you are so good getting things accomplished by watching. &nbsp;I can't seem to watch and do anything else at the same time or I miss the big moments...<br />Wearing red but that is far as the wardrobe thing goes.<br />I am not friends with any olympian but have met and spoken with about six of the mens hockey players.<br />Enjoying all of the events but I love the hockey, figure skating and skiing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olympics-and-wardrobe-effect#post-1174762 Sat, 22 Feb 2014 22:46:04 +0000 Mo 1174762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I watch off and on. &nbsp;Agree the hockey is awesome. &nbsp;Remarked to the BF and he said it's often better than NHL games, as there are only a few and they put their all into it.&nbsp;<br />As for knowing Olympians, living in South Lake Tahoe for so many years, there are plenty. &nbsp;2 gold winners so far. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olympics-and-wardrobe-effect#post-1174706 Sat, 22 Feb 2014 21:19:10 +0000 Lyn D. 1174706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Always love the Ice-Skating!<br />This time I recorded 9.5 hours from 8.30pm to 6am and fast-forwarded to the Skating.<br />We even had 2 Australian participants these games!<br />Particularly loved the womens #2 and #3 medalists- Korea and USA I think.<br />I am NOT wearing lycra and leotards as a result though </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olympics-and-wardrobe-effect#post-1174695 Sat, 22 Feb 2014 21:02:18 +0000 cinnamon fern 1174695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mia, you are a genius - I have a stack of buttons to be sewn on and the like which would be a great use for nervous energy during hockey tomorrow morning! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olympics-and-wardrobe-effect#post-1174681 Sat, 22 Feb 2014 20:52:26 +0000 Mia 1174681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have been enjoying the Olympics and all the great performances and stories from the participating athletes. </p> <p>Watching some events is more nerve racking than others so I keep busy with one eye on the tv. So far I have refreshed my whole closet with a steam press and polished all my shoes during two nail biter hockey games. </p> <p>How do you watch? Any favourite moments so far? Know any Olympians? I have met and chatted with Clara Hughes (commentator at these games). She is beautiful inside and out. Those competition suits are not the most flattering garments! </p>
