goodies

i would call it stash enhancement, but technically no yarn has been added. yet. it is just a matter of time though.

i can say without one bit of reservation, while i maybe the last person to own this book, i love love love it. and it makes me heart kay and ann too. their blog is not one i have followed very much, although i would have to live under a big rock to have never heard of it.... i want to make nearly all of the projects, and more than that, i just want to be a better knitter. in all regards. i think this is the most inspirational book in my collection. and there are more than a few. i have also added them to the increasing list of blogs i read.

also new goodies are these two patterns. i am excited to jump right in and get started. i have some cascade 220 in my stash, i just need to read and see if i have enough. i have no idea how to line a bag or any of that jazz, but i have friends who can rescue me. i've looked around blogland and there are quite a few cool finished bags.

this is my next baby bolero, fifth and last. it's for a dear friend of mine from college and i'll probably make her other stuff too. maybe the kimono sweater from my new favorite book and some burp cloths, too. and maybe some hats. i haven't really ever made hats of any sort. ohhh...and baby socks. i have plenty of leftover sock yarn for that. seems a little ambitious, but fun to contemplate.

ordering and buying yarn tomorrow. oh happy day.
