Did you watch Saturday Night Live last night? While I could have done without all the plugs to Capital One (the credit card company that's harrassing me to death to open an account with them) David Spade was the host and he played the roll of Martha Stewart -- poncho and all. (He made one ugly looking "Martha," IMHO! LOL) The best part is that the script writers got it right when they referenced the poncho saying it was CROCHETED, not knitted. 
A. The word KNITTING has 2 "T's" in it. This is because it's a fabric making technique requiring TWO sticks.
B. The word CROCHETING has 1 "T" in it. This is because it's a fabric making technique requiring ONE stick (with a notch at the end).
And, in case you haven't heard, there are "knock off" patterns available on the Internet now ... from Lion Brand, Interweave Press, and geesh, someone else I think. The important thing about this is that you can watch your CBS news tomorrow morning and see Lily Chin ... here's the details:
Watch the CBS news at 7:14 AM & 8:01 AM for "teasers," then interview sometime between 8:30-9 AM.
This is national broadcast network & live! (I'm not sure how it works for other time zones, but I'm referencing Eastern Time here.)
I'll be busy getting the kiddies off to school, so I'll have to cross my fingers and hope I program the VCR correctly.
