I Hope She Knits

A few weeks ago I was having a conversation at KIP about hosts of knitting shows. How we would like one a little more exciting. This lady, Niecy Nash, has my vote. I guess she doesn't have to knit, she just has to talk and be fabulous! She hosts a show called Clean House on the Style network. The premise of the show is a crew comes into someone's home, cleans out their junk, sells it in a yard sale, and uses the proceeds to redecorate the house. If my apartment were in Los Angeles, I would be a candidate for a home cleaning. Except it would be hands off my yarn stash! Niecy has so much spark, she really makes this show entertaining. I think she could do the same for knitting, and be a lot more fun than what we currently get to see. That flower in her hair seems to be a signature look. While it may be campy on someone else, Niecy pulls it off. She's also on a sitcom on Comedy Central called Reno 911, which I've never really seen. But, hey, DIY--she's adorable!
In Year of the Dog news, we're expecting a 10 pound hairy visitor in the back yard on Wednesday. Piccolo may hate me forever.

I _totally_ agree. I have seen that show, and most of the time she manages to be entertaining, a little bit over the top but not in an annoying way, and kind to the people she's trying to help (without laughing at their expense). If DIY can find her, why can't they find _other_ fun hosts? See you at knitting! Cheers-

Piccolo won't hate you--she'll love you for bringing her a new friend.
