I should have realized that when this book gets delivered, not much knitting will happen that night! The only way to describe this book is yummy. Seriously, I want to spend Saturday wrapped up in a blanket, with a cup of cocoa and this book!
I spent most of last evening flipping through the pages, thinking about warm mittens I could be making, or little sweater egg-cozies for my soft-boiled eggs…wait, when’s the last time I ate soft-boiled eggs?!? The interesting thing was, I didn’t think about going to buy yarn to make something out of the book, but I was thinking about what yarn in my stash would work for some of the projects. Hmmm. Have I matured enough in my knitting that stash acquisition isn’t the most important thing? Probably not, I’m sure it’s just a fluke!
OK, that was a much longer tangent then I’d planned. This entire post is supposed to be about….my new project, the Green Mountain Gardens Cardigan! Click the link or the picture to go to the project page, where there are a bunch more pictures, taken with the new camera (which I have – I think – made peace with.)
As for everything else, the dust bunnies haven’t taken over yet, but they’re not gone either! And I’m trying to be good about limiting my GameCube playing. I don’t have enough time to do everything I want/need to do as it is without wasting time playing silly video games. (Says she who spent two hours last night and two more tonight playing silly video games!)
I just got Weekend Knitting for Christmas! It is indeed a very yummy book. I especially love the photographs; so warm and inviting. Your cardi looks wonderful so far.
Your sweater is gorgeous. The colors are beautiful! I love Weekend Knitting…I’m making the Super Mittens right now…I started one last night and it’s almost done! So fast!
Your sweater is beautiful! My latest passion is that book, too. I just received it, and it’s just amazing.
i am a big fan of that book also. i’ve got some stash yarn for the berkshire pullover just waiting… :)
That is my FAVORITE book I have, and I even have it autographed by M. Falick herself! (no I didn’t meet her- I bought it autographed)
Your cardi is lovely, I’ve seen and admired that pttern before.
