Monday Yarn

Posted on | August 20, 2007 | 7 Comments


What could be better to brighten up a dreary Monday than yarn? Not much.

Last week, I fell in love with Teva Durham’s new pattern book from Tahki Stacy Charles. It just so happened that I had a gift certifcate from kpixie left over from Christmas too. Christmas? Yes, Christmas. Keep in mind, I haven’t been doing much “me” knitting lately!

So my package arrived today (with an autographed copy of the pattern book, none the less). I ordered a kit for the Slip Stitch Jacket, it’s rated “experienced”. That makes me so happy, you have no idea! Now if I could just get these secret projects out of the way, I could start! If deadlines make for some purposeful knitting, adding a project that is actually for me is like dangling a tasty carrot at the finish line.

I am also dying to make the Rib Leaf Cardigan, but one at a time, one at a time.

    I so hear you, Melissa! I haven’t made something for myself bigger than a pair of gloves since December.

    Love the color and pattern you chose… It’s going to be perfect for you!

    I love that slip stitch jacket pattern. It is really a neat design. I have the yarn to make the peasant top….but it was a toss up between the two! I can’t wait to see your progress. I have no doubt you will inspire me to knit it also!

    Ooh! What a great book. My fave is that Rib Leaf Cardigan, but as usual, all of her patterns are so creative.

    Oh wow, I had no idea about that book (it just happened that I saw her crochet book yesterday at a friend’s place, coincidence !), yet more beautiful and inspiring designs !

    This jacket is so beautiful, I’m sure it will be a good motivation !
