Book Her Dano
Just because I am not buying yarn doesn' t mean I am saving my yarn pennies. I am buying books instead of yarn and we all know a book costs more than the avg ball of yarn. Come to think of it the stashalong is gonna break the bank. Today's arrival consisted of 4 books from Schoolhouse Press. Tonight we look through Cimdu. Duraini // Gloves. Mittens This small book is written in Latvian and English and has tons and tons of pictures of Mittens with a few gloves thrown in. No charts of any of the hand coverings nor patterns for that matter but oh the inspiration. Now I had read that there were no charts on several peeps blogs but was misled by this post OK I need to chart myself and how can I not with such clear photos? BTW two of the other three books are gonna require my charting from pictures as well and this is what I really love about knitting. Not the process[which I agonize over too much] nor the FO[which I whip out quickly when I wanna] but the whole analyzing of patterns. Yay.
OK Nece got into more beads and now I do not think I have a single bag left. Swatches are getting tiresome and I am thinking of doing a EPS or PGR plain st st sweater~ patternless per se has to count for something. But the color patterns of mittens and gloves.... ahhhhh. Off to eyeball some more fabby pictures.
OH almost forgot! I was tickled pink today while perusing various yarny sites to find my pattern yes mine as the "pick of the day" on the One Fine Yarn site. I feel like screen shotting it for posterity but am getting woozy from all the giddiness and don't want to seem to big headed. Cause its giddiness not big headedness but I realize that they can seem the same. Still woo hooo my pattern!
yarny days and knitterly evenings
