Getting Colder

Scripture Reading: Bemidbar (Numbers) 7:78-10:36

Num 10:35 And it came to be, whenever the ark set out, that Mosheh said, "Rise up, O יהוה! And let Your enemies be scattered, and let those who hate You flee before You."
Num 10:36 And when it rested, he said, "Return, O יהוה, to the countless thousands of Yisra’ĕl."



Pinwheel Sweater: I've made it to round 76, so I took another picture. This is the view from the top looking down at the inside of the 'bag' hanging from the circular needles. The outside of the 'bag' is the right side, which you can see around the edges since the circle of the sweater body has a bigger circumference than the circular needles. When positioned flat like this, it looks like a gigantic upside down beret. I've used up a little more than 10% of my yarn in this color, so I hope that means I've completed at least 10% of the sweater. It's getting down into the 20s at night now, so I want to get this done soon, and I sure hope it ends up fitting well.

Kid Nation: It was nice to see Sophia and Morgan both get another gold star. With this show, I always wondered about all the kids who weren't featured, though. Throughout the season, the powers that be seemed to pick certain kids to focus on over and over again, and it felt like there were many others we never heard anything from and knew nothing about. I would have liked to know more about the 'invisible' kids.




Kitchen Nightmares: The 'formula' for this show is getting to be very obvious--Gordon shows up and eats restaurant's food, which sucks and Gordon tells them so, owner/chef who requested Gordon's help gets offended at Gordon's criticism but reluctantly agrees to try Gordon's suggestions, restaurant gets busy, everyone goes crazy, owner/chef gets even angrier at Gordon, Gordon yells back, everyone calms down and things get back under control, restaurant does well, owner/chef sees Gordon was right and is grateful, Gordon gives a final pep talk and everyone lives happily ever after.
