A knitting soup kind of day....a little of this, and a little of that.
I drove through an ice storm last night to buy cotton yarn for my newest project...
Absorba the Great Bath Mat. Would you think knitting something as ordinary garter stitch could be such fun? If it's Mason-Dixon Knitting, I promise you , it's fun.
Would you like an update on the Build A Sweater? I'm still knitting it. Working on the fronts, actually.
And, have you seen the preview for the Spring IK?
Oh, good gracious. I want to knit this, and this and these are cute too.
Denise, and Lisa, and my Mom and Maria and I are going on a yarn shopping trip to Rochester on Saturday. I think we'll hit New York Knits, and Village Yarn and Fiber. I am seriously excited about this. It's been a LONNNNNGGGGG time since I've done some yarn shopping at actual yarn stores. They may have to scrape me up off the floor.
Since the knitting photos in this post are looking very vanilla, I leave you with my usual breakfast...which is not only healthy and delicious, it's very pretty.
Hey,
Isnt that new Interweave knits wonderful?
I want to knit all of those cute little sweaters!!!

My knew IK came today and I can't wait to look at it. Your breakfast looks delicious!

ohh. I can't wait for my IK to arrive. I've seen the preview up, but it's not the same. Is the asorba cream and white or yellow and white? Either way...looks so squishy for the feet.

Oh, I love both of those sweaters! Very Mary Tyler Moore in the Dick Van Dyke show. Love them!

Lynne No wonder it took you 4 hours to get home. What you wouldn't do for yarn. Looking forward to Sat. Love the bath mat.

Gosh I love garter stitch. There's something therapeutic about it and it's such a nice study fabric...Have a nice weekend!

Oh, I can't wait to see the Design a Sweater. Have fun shopping at an actual yarn store! Should be tons of fun.

The bathmat roll? I wanted to make one, but DH thinks the edges will just roll up, and it will be kind of a pain.
I love the colors of yours!
