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

Your pattern certainly deserves to be "Pick of the Day." I've saved it to make for one of my daughters, and it's hard to find young women fussier than they are. Beautifully done.
