While Miz Kittling Knits: Return to Paradise

 

It's been a while since you've seen one of these posts, isn't it? 

I've not only been brightening up my kitchen and family room, but I've done the same thing in my bathroom. Here's a photo of the old color scheme.

Yes, I've knitted cotton wash cloths and hand towels for my bathroom. (I have to be different, dontcha know?)

Now, here is a photo of the new color scheme.

I absolutely love the colors in this yarn, so much so that I bought four huge cones of it. It's Lily Sugar'N Cream 100% cotton yarn in "Emerald Energy." I used the sand stitch from one of my stitch encyclopedias. It's sand stitch on one side and dot stitch on the other. I like reversible stitches, and this time around, I prefer the dot side. Since my bath towels were also old and tatty, I bought new ones. (Well over a year ago. Nothing like being behind the times on sharing.) I tried my luck with Amazon, and I could not believe how well I managed to match the colors! Take a look!

It's almost as if I'd gone in person to the store instead of clicking on Buy Now.

One of the programs I watched while I was knitting was Return to Paradise.

Here's the synopsis from IMDb: "Detective Inspector Mackenzie Clarke reluctantly returns to her Australian hometown after leaving her fiancé, only to be pulled into a case testing her tenacity until the culprit is apprehended."

Unfortunately, the best part of the series for me was the Australian scenery. The actress portraying DI Mackenzie Clarke put me off, and it wasn't just because of how her character was written (too abrasive). I hate to admit it, but her bulging, staring eyes bothered me. A lot. I found them creepy. The picture above doesn't come close to her appearance in the series. Her emaciated-looking face didn't help either. It's the first time I ever remember being put off watching something because of an actor's appearance, and I hope it never happens again!

I watched the entire first season because I wanted to see if the stories improved or if my reaction to the main character did. Neither did, so, if there is a second season, I won't be watching it.
