Bicker Bicker Bicker

I can't believe I got myself pulled into the crazy Wives reality show!
But what else can I watch while knitting doll clothes!?
It's absolutely crazy to watch these women nit-pick at each other, say they're best friends and yet do nothing but hurt each others' feelings, giving their very subjective and edited version of events.
I don't even remember my High School years being this bad! and I went to an all-girls school!!!
I do know that girls can be horrible to each other though and not just to each other.
They can crush a young man's ego just as easily as they can a girl.
I guess there is not enough drama in my life...
In the latest show some of these women attended a private evening at Saks Fifth Avenue and I got curious and checked out their website. I found a gorgeous outfit I would love to have - if found in my size! - then I checked out the price tags!!! Who shops in these high priced stores!?
These are chic clothes but wow... what salty prices...
How do these stores stay in business?
Obviously there is still a lot of very rich people in this country.
or maybe it's just me. I can not imagine spending $1,000 for a sweater! In fact, I looked closer to see if I could see what stitch was used... might be able to make one for myself...
Do you think I could find the right yarn somewhere online?
Do you think I could sell High Fashion hand-knitted doll clothes online?
I'm building an inventory first... besides knitting cocoons and slings for Bethany's Photography budding business.

Cocoon

Fun thing to do while watching tv... eases the guilt of not doing three things at the same time...
I hope Bethany can use this in her photography.
If not, maybe it'll make a nice gift for someone's baby.
It really didn't take long at all.
And the variegated yarn really made a nice pattern.
You be the judge.
