I refrained from going yarn crazy and only bought 2 skeins of Filatura Di Crosa, Zara. One black and one charcoal gray. They will become fingerless gloves from Knit 1.
However I’ve gone knitting book crazy. I ordered around $70.00 of books from Amazon.com Friday night. So I will be making a Knitting Library section to this blog as soon as I can. On Saturday I also purchased from my LYS, Louisa Harding “The accessories collection". Quite a few patterns in there have my eye. The Cat Bordhi book “Socks Soar on two Circular Needles.” Now that I have been bitten by the sock bug. No, I haven’t finished even the first sock of my first pair of socks yet. I’m just about to turn the heel. I’ve decided to save that for Wednesday knit night.
For my last book/mag purchase…Have any of you seen the new Vogue Knitting Holiday 2005 ?!?!
I think it’s fabulous!! The skill level is WAY beyond me. But I will probably attempt this
at some point. In kid silk haze.
And this will probably be a gift for some one at some point as well.
Who knew I would go gaga over the Victorian goth look?
I am actually considering buying a computer pattern making program so I can alter a couple of patterns in this magazine. I’m open to suggestions, if any of you have a program you love, please let me know.…. I’m just starting the research on them now…
