Things I Like, Things I Don't
I have finally gotten around to reading Mason-Dixon Knitting, and what a fun read! I told myself I was going to table knitting for a while when I started working full time, but HA! It's too much of an obsession at this point. This morning I found myself putting the open knitting times at our LYS on my iCal, so guess I haven't kicked the habit. I have started a patternless sweater for Lily, based on a cute one from Old Navy she wore last winter that is now too small. I'm once again using recycled yarn from a chunky wool Goodwill find a couple of weekends ago. I also received a great package of yarn from friend Carol, who had promised me some of her mismatched Bam-Boo and also sent a couple of other odd duck stash leftovers.
One thing I keep running into in knitting patterns is Chevron Stripe, which I just think is ugly. I also find that I really hate Houndstooth Check, unless it's very very tiny. But I digress.
I really need to get back to work on some painting. I'm planning a couple of small gouache still lifes at the moment. I did get around to printing some notecards with my painting Friendship, which are now for sale on Etsy. So, while time flies by and projects proceed at a crawl, some of them are actually being completed. Hooray!

The package was only like, what, two months late? Sorry about that again! Hope you have fun with the bamboo. If you like it, look into the Classic Elite bamboo-wool blend. Heavenly.
