apparently cables are in this season. I’ve been seeing them in lots of shop windows on my way to work. and there’s lots of cables in the new knitty. yay!
to add to my ever expanding list of things I want to make…
* samus
* blackberry (though I find it mildly amusing that as far as I can see, there is no blackberry stitching in it. not that I mind, blackberry is mildly annoying to knit.)
* falling leaves
* and possibly someday ella, bubby, bloom, edgar, and josephine (if I can ever get into the ‘knit coat’ thing. right now I don’t see myself wearing it. maybe I’ll modify it a bit)
(oh, and I did cave into Crafter’s Choice. coming soon to my mailbox: Sensational Knitted Socks, Michaels Book of Needlecrafts & The Knitting Answer Book, The Pleasures of Knitting, Knitting over the Edge, and Simple Socks - that’s six books for the low price of $25.73 after shipping. Yarn Harlot’s book is pegged to be my regular-priced purchase.)
in non-knitting news, I’m finally reading Wicked (started it on Friday, I think). I’m having a hard time putting it down to do essential things like working and knitting. it’s WAY different from the musical, but that’s ok. I still want to see it when it tours here next year.
