i like knitting

i like books.  so i guess it makes a whole bunch of sense that i like books about knitting.

this is barely a dent in my library.  they’re all out because i decided last thursday that i better start thinking about gift knitting for the holidays…  uhhhh, you think?

so i’m sifting, i’m finding some promising choices.  and now the race against the clock begins…

i’ve started a couple things, swatched a couple things, planned a couple others.  i’m trying to knit from stash all i can, but i did find some fun inspiration at cornerstone, yesterday.  i’ll blog those purchases as soon as there’s some light, i promise.

here’s the start of a peekaboo mitten and the yarn selection (which has been swatched) for a “dude, where’s my hat?”

the queensland collection kathmandu i picked up at yarn cravin’.  they have some really ridiculously deeeelissssshhhhhusssss tweeds this fall.

and that blue/green/purple was one of the cornerstone purchases.  crystal palace’s mochi plus.  mmmmmmmmmm….

back at it.  hug a veteran, tomorrow, ok?
