Quick post
Nothing really new to show you. Just wanted to check in. I am still working on Clapotis and hopefully will have that done this week sometime. I’m feeling selfish and and anxious to start some things for me me me!
I joined my very first knit-along yesterday. Marnie Maclean is hosting it. It’s called Peace is Patriotic. I love the graphic that she made for it:
Basically, we are all going to come up with a knitting project that incorporates the “Peace is Patriotic” message. I have no friggen idea what I’m going to make…Any ideas would be welcome. It will be fun to see what the other ladies in the group make.
Also, I was avoiding work yesterday, surfing the net and lusting after Noro yarn when I happened upon this website ( Wool Needlework Discounters). Check out thier prices for Kureyon. Oh. My. God. I am freaking out over here. I mean, the website looks hella cheesy and sketchy, but those prices! I searched around a little bit and found some knit bloggers who said good things about them. Have any of you ordered from them? What is your experience?
I may just have to order some for Butterfly. I know, I know. I have enough on my plate and I told myself I was on a yarn diet. But I love her and want to knit her….
Another project I’ve been thinking about is the Big Bad Baby Blanket from Stich-n-Bitch 1, for my new neice or nephew who will be born sometime in August. The koigu that the suggest is too rich for my blood (also, I want to choose something washable. I’m sorry, but handwashing a baby blanket? I don’t think so). I’m thinking that, perhaps Artyarns supermerino would be a good choice. We’ll see. Any ideas would be much appreciated.
