I prefer to watch a series or bunch of movies that I’ve seen already. That way, it’s a show I already like and have seen, so I’m not crushed if I miss a few minutes here and there for concentrating on my knitting, especially if I’m slogging through a semi-difficult project.

i have been a fan of the show NUMBERS since season 2. A fellow knitter got me hooked. I am glad to hear that your vacation went well.

I recorded Fringe (except the next to the last ep – my recorder rejected the disk after 20 mins! Argh!!!!) and recently watched it from beginning to end while knitting. Love that show!!! I also pick out favorite movies (Independence Day, Harry Potter, The Quiet Man, The Shipping News) or TV shows (Moonlight, Stargate SG-1) on DVD to play while knitting, so I can enjoy the entertainment on the tube and knitting both, and not worry about missing plot bits. That also means I know when to look up and watch favorite parts — like a certain Moonlight vampire. Chick flicks are really good for knitting, too. Must Love Dogs, Under The Tuscan Sun, Jane Austen Book Club. Give me a DVD player and a stack of my favorites, and I’m good to knit for quite a while!

Thanks for giving us a couple of weeks to get Challenge photos in! I’m in Canada until the middle of next week, plus have never uploaded a Challenge photo (this is my first Challenge!) so it may take me a while to get it to work. The socks turned out beautifully, so thanks also for the inspiration to go above and beyond my knitterly comfort zone.

The TV (either a show or a dvd) is usually on when I’m knitting, but only if my husband is in the living room too. I don’t consider knitting a spectator sport, so I figure this gives him something to do while my fingers are busy. If I get up early and craft then I enjoy the amazing silence.

Sheri – I’m a multi-tasker. I knit while watching tv, visiting with friends, being a passenger in the car….. It’s like that cartoon about the difference between men and women watching tv.

I’m off to the lake for the holiday and plan to knit and read. I am so glad you are enjoying your be-do-vacation. I plan to do the same.

I was in the LoopyEwe in Feb 09 with the Oklahoma Ladies and I want to come back to your store so bad.

I totally love Numb3rs. Probably have watched about all episodes. Very entertaining.

I love to sit and knit and watch tv. I sit through t.v. series and documentary type shows. I haven’t really been into movies lately. Sigh – - it is my favorite down time.

Thought you might like some Numbers trivia. The math whiz brother was based on a guy from my neighborhood here in Silver Spring Maryland. His parents were Germans Jews who escaped from Germany and the the Holocaust. The son went to Princeton (I think) and applied math to real life situations. The actor was in Ten things I Hate about you – one of my daughters and my favorite teen movies.
Enjoy the show.
