This is my own little soapbox. Disclaimer: It is not written by someone you think you know, but by her evil twin. Absolutely nothing said here is true. Everything, including the last statement, is a complete work of fiction. This blog is completely boring, and includes entries on when I last washed my dishes, how many pairs of socks I've crocheted, and the occasional rant. These are not the droids you're looking for. Move along.
For some reason, my Weasley makes me very happy. My colourwork isn't perfect, but is good enough. I certainly improved towards the top. Luckily the tweedy nature of the yarn disguises my poorer efforts.

How does the DishWasher work. Looks like the cheapest model on the market ,and that means it was at least 200 bucks. Isn't that crazy? Dishwashers cost way too much.
Works great, actually. It was the cheapest name-brand portable... GE, and $400 after all taxes, price matches, shipping, and rebates. I could have gone for something completely unknown from Walmart for less, but I wasn't comfortable with that.
Sara: It takes a bit of getting used to, but isn't all that bad. The main thing is to avoid pulling the strands too tight across the back. You might try practicing on a swatch, or something small, to gain confidence. I figured Weasley was a good "practice," since the "real" Weasleys were supposed to be sloppily made too.
I was curious about that, so I checked the book recently... they mentioned the sweaters being "lumpy," and that Harry's was both better made and didn't have an initial on it. In the words of the twins, Mrs Weasley put more effort in if you weren't family, and she figured Harry could remember his name. ;)

Dishwashers do indeed cost way too much.
It ain't perfect, but it kicks my ass. Love it.
That was referenceing Weasley, BTW :)

I'm also very happy that you got your dishwasher!

I love the Weasley. It looks really good.
The dishwasher is great, too. I know you'll enjoy it.
