Project Funway
I'm having a moment, you'll have to excuse me. I just discovered two days ago that I can DOWNLOAD the current season of Project Runway from itunes. So what have I been doing for the past 2 days? Yes, knitting and watching PROJECT RUNWAY!! I HAVE GOT TO GET ON THAT SHOW! As soon as someone hears if they're having a season 4, let me know - I tend to be way out of the loop on these things...
Away for the WeekendI went to a knitting retreat once - it was a Camp Stitches in 2000 (I think...) and I had a blast. Every retreat I've been to since then has been a teaching event, which I also love, but which is quite different.
When you're at a retreat as an instructor you have to be "on" whenever you're in public - answering questions, being gracious, listening to a lot of stories about knitting disasters and triumphs - and that's actually all very enjoyable. But it is wearying, and after a day at a retreat I just want to retreat!
I'm so glad that I have a private room - I can just hide away after classes, before dinner, and rest! I'm looking forward to it. It's out in Western NJ - I haven't been there in a while - but today will be a good driving day and I'm getting all packed up and ready to go!
5:37 UpdateI arrived at the Jonsonburg Presbyterian Center to discover that - oops - I needed to bring sheets. Oy. Apparently I was sent a confirmation letter with this info (and I'm sure I was) but there was a period there at the end of August / start of Sept when we didn't have interenet for a few days, and that was a bummer.
More of a bummer is that little by little I'm discovering email that was sent to me that I didn't get - apparently this email was one of the missing. They offered to scrounge up some sheets and pillows, but I live about 30 miles away and - to be totally honest - I just feel better getting my own sheets and pillowcase and comfortor. I'm kind of a sheet snob (although not as snobbish as Martha, don't you know... She only sleeps on 300+ count sheets) and generally when I travel I DO take my own pillow (why not today? Who knows - maybe because it's been a while since I did an overnight gig)
So I'm home, which is nice because I get another few hugs and kisses from the husband and kids before I'm off, checking my email quickly and updating my blog. As soon as the traffic thins a bit I'll get back on the road - back to Johnsonburg. Evidently I REALLY like to drive.

I love PRW too. Your style would be fun to watch. Try out, Anie!
Where in Western NJ? I'm from Western NJ, about 10 miles from exit 22ish off I-78....
I guess you don't have cable tv. Project Runway is the most fun. The Bravo Network runs the shows repeats and I've already seen them but somehow they are so much fun to knit to that I watch them over and over.
There are several blogs out there discussing this show at lenght. I so would watch it if you were on the show. They should have a knitting designs show.
The Futon Critic is a great source of television news releases (http://www.thefutoncritic.com/home.aspx). At the moment, FC is reporting that Project Runway is powering Bravo to its best viewer ratings ever, so a fourth season is probably in the cards. However, they have to conduct a lot of interviews before each new season, so there is always the possibility that Heidi, Tim, Nina, et al. won't want to commit again.
Before the second season, Bravo had a mailing list for people who wanted to be on Project Runway (see the FAQs on the Bravo Project Runway site). This mailing list seems to be gone now, but I'd suggest that you try contacting Bravo anyway about getting on such a list for the fourth season and beyond(http://www.bravotv.com/Contact_Us//index.shtml).
I'd love to see you on Project Runway!
You're catching up! There will be a Season 4, but we're only 1 episode from the Season Finale of Season 3 right now. Go Michael!
Oh by the way you can see each of the designers whole collection here

My personal favorite is Ulrike Herzner. I pick her to be the winner.
Laura second, and the two guys I was not impressed. Jeffrey lost his edge and Michael designs for hookers. Just my opinion.
Where in western NJ? All the knitting camps are in Iowa or Wisconsin and I miss one in NJ??? Damn!
And PRW? The best. If you are downloading the show on your Ipod, you HAVE to down load Tim's podcast, where he talks about the show after the fact and dishes a bit. I'm on Episode 4 and he has said "bitch slap" in every one! It's a hoot.

Well, glad to hear I'm not the only one. Not only do I like my own sheets and bed, but I just don't "do" sleep-overs (unless I have no choice). I'm like you: I want my own bed. I like my sheets, especially in the winter. Flannel sheets ROCK. You just can't find those in a Red Roof Inn.
