Anybody see this last night?
I watched and although it was good to see something other than detective thrillers or reality programmes, I was rather disappointed.
I know some fantastic knitters and a couple of knitwear designers yet two tired looking elderly ladies were judges! Never heard of either of them and their comments were most odd.
The contestants seemed a nice crowd and clearly quite talented. Their first challenge was to knit a fair isle Tank Top in chunky yarn. Some really good designs and colour choices but a couple of people needed a bit longer to complete.
The second challenge was, as a group, to cover a sofa in knitting which should have the âwow factorâ. Sadly that went down like a lead balloon. One group managed it but it was very dull. The other groupâs effort was a disaster and looked an absolute mess. The two old dolls didnât know what to say about that one. đ€Łđ€Ł
Tom Daley as presenter was OK but draped in an assortment of multi coloured knitted adornments and a white skirt or kilt looked bizarre but that was probably the aim.
There was a very nice young woman in a pale green top who won Top Knitter last night and I predict she will win the contest eventually. Very talented and very modest. đ
