No knitting, just...
...a bunch of new stuff! I didn't finish a square this week, so there isn't going to be an afghan update. But I will have one next week! In the meantime I have a couple of fun things to show off!
Can I tell you how much I LOVE the new Big Girl Knits book! I love, love, love it...that's how much! There are about 6 or 7 things that are going on the must-knit-someday list, starting with the cover sweater because really, don't I have to knit a sweater thats called "The Stacy Pullover"! (even though they didn't spell it right! Ha!) The other books are Toys to Knit, Knitting Rules, and a little book that I had never seen before called Knit it! Greeting Cards. I can't wait to make some little cards with mini scarves and sweaters on them!
The yarn was purchased at a couple different stores around Denver. At Colorful Yarns on Saturday I picked up the 2 pink Mauch Chunky colors to knit some clogs for a friend, with a little extra for me! Then I was there again on Monday and this orange Kid Merino came home with me! It is destined to become a Kiri Shawl. The ArtYarns Supermerino was purchased at Midinight Sun Fiber Arts yesterday over my lunch hour and it has no purpose other than I just couldn't resist it! For those that are interested, it's color number 130! (click for a brownand pink close up!! Yummy!)
I'm headed to go meet Debbie Stoller of Stitch and Bitch fame at my local bookstore tonight for a booksigning and trunk show! Hope to see some of you there!!
Oh, fun fun fun stuff indeed - that card book is very intriguing. Have fun tonight!

I'll be starting a Kiri shawl soon, too.

Posted by: Lynette at April 27, 2006 07:30 PMI envy you your Big Girl book. Mine is still at amazon.ca waiting for another book to arrive so it can come home to me! And I've got mail yesterday - one big bag of Artyarns, I've ordered weeks ago. I might share a picture of it, but I don't want to - it's all mine. ;o)
Posted by: Monika at April 28, 2006 05:32 AMOooh...I'm very much looking forward to getting my hands on Big Girl Knits. I think it might be time for a knitting book shopping spree!

Posted by: Jenifer at April 28, 2006 12:00 PMI have been lurking for months, every since I found your scarf pattern. I enjoy reading your blog and seeing what you are up too. I can't wait to see the finished afghan, I am sure it will be gorgeous.
Have a great weekend!
I'm not kidding, I just bought those same books a week ago. I also LOVE the Big Girl Knits book. It's about freakin' time! And the Knitted Toys...I don't know where to start! Enjoy!

Hope to see you soon.
