an unlikely lace model
The final Amazing Lace challenge is to find an unlikely model. I didn’t participate in the last challenge, due more to forgetfulness than anything else, and I have been racking my brain to think of a good unlikely lace model. I thought about statues, colonial people (though I didn’t see any the day I went looking), etc. Eventually, I went with this:
if I were to cast off my lace right now . . .
I’d, uh, well, actually, um, I’d have a pair of socks. Anastasia Socks, that is.
amazing lace detour: frog it, or knit it?
A detour is a choice between two tasks, each with its own pros and cons. In this Detour, teams must decide between two grueling choices: Frog It, or Knit It?
In Frog It, teams will take out the single sock (Minty-titled “Anastasia sock”)* they’ve completed.
Amazing Lace: Xtreme!
Minty and her teammate, who arrived at the Pit Stop last Saturday, are now ready to leave. Teams will head into the most extreme of locales, to perform the most extreme feats. Teams are given $2 in quarters. (“Count the money!”)
Minty knows what’s coming as she rounds the corner. “Oh my god. No, it’s not . . . You’re kidding me! They can’t be serious.”
