Lotsa Knits

Posted by allie on November 29, 2006

I’ve been doing a lot of knitting this past week. I began a scarf from the Rowan Classic Art Pattern Book with some Alpaca, Woold, Silk blend DK yarn from A.C Moore.

I was knitting my 3″ wide scarf on 14″ needles…

So I went to A.C. Moore to get some shorter 9″ needles.

Here’s the scarf’s detail:

I’ve been expanding both my book repertoire and enhancing my stash this week. I got the newest issues of Rebecca and Rowan at Loopville, it’s the first time a LYS in my area has had my two favorite knitting mags.

So I snatched them up immediately.

Today I was shopping at a used bookstore and found Knit loves Crochet in excellent condition (seriously, I’m picky about used books) for only $9.50.

Also, I bought some more of the wool, alpaca, silk DK yarn I’m using for my scarf in a great taupe color. I’m planning on eventually making a nice winter wrap, probably from my new Rebecca!!!

I will try from now on to post more regularly… try being the operative word.
Happy Last Day of November tomorrow!! I will be making the December Monthly Dishcloth KAL cloth soon and I’m excited about the holidays.

Soon to come… wrapping up my holiday knits.
