Knit & Crochet Today Online

This show would be better if it had a host or hostess with a brain. Kassie Depaiva is a good example of "nice cage, no bird."

She asks silly questions of her guests, and makes comments that I would expect from a ditsy teenager. She often tells the audience that she's never heard of the technique being shown, or how hard the techniques are. Well, maybe for her.

Some of the projects are so hideously ugly or just plain wacky that I wouldn't consider making them myself. Perhaps these designs are geared to the young knitters in the audience, but there are many young knitters who are expert knitters. Not all knitters are rank beginners, either, and this show offers little for the experienced knitter. Even Knitty Gritty throws us experienced knitters a bone now and then!

If it were not for Linda Cyr, a very respected knit designer, this show would be an automatic by-pass for me. But I can't help but wonder if Linda is embarrassed to appear on this show. I would be.

Perhaps all this program needs is another host or hostess, and some seriously helpful information. Otherwise, don't waste your time on this show, unless you are a true beginner and are desperate for help. Even then, though,you'll find better tutorials on the net.
