Keyboard Biologist Theresa is knitting Liberty. It looks great, and I will definitely try the tubular cast-on. It looks like I'll be knitting this the moment I come back from vacation: I placed an order with my favorite eBay seller for RY Classic CashSoft and Cashcotton. Janette is a sweet lady; she responds quickly to all requests and has good yarn deals--Kidsilk Haze for $9, free shipping!
Xtreme-Knitting Jen (happy birthday!) just published her Three Dinosaurs pattern. A brontosaurus, a triceratops, and a stegosaurus, how sweet! You know *at least* one person who would be delighted to have these. Make plenty.
Knit at Nite Corine made a wooly animal out of yarn, needles, stitch markers and needle holders. Go on, go look.
Wendy Knits! Wendy and L-B go head to head in the Inishmore Challenge, with a worthy cause to boot. L-B just finished a saddle-shouldered sleeve, and Wendy is making good progress on the back. All this knitting makes want to do an Aran. Any suggestions on patterns, anyone? I don't care if it's beginner, intermediate, or difficult. Challenge is good, yah?
Artitst Banksy strikes again! This time, a rock with a drawing of prehistoric man and shopping cart in the British museum. Via Kottke (damn, he has good links).
Hmm... I just clicked on your Liberty link and was suprised to see it was an area I haven't been before. Love the pattern... I can't wait to see yours :) Have a good vacation!
Thanks for sharing your ebay seller. I added her to my list of favorites.
Enjoy your vacation!
I'm really digging the gansey-type hoodie I'm working on --not really a gansey I guess because it isn't worked in the round, but it has a belly of stockinette for mindless knitting and cabling at the chest for quiet lunch hours from Sirdar Family Denim #283. There are quite a few variations on the same sort of cabling in the book.
Or you could road trip it down here to poke through the Knitting Basket in Lemon Grove for something old and funky ;)
I've been wanting to knit an aran for a long time but just haven't got down to it. One thing is I won't have a chance to wear it in our weather. But I'm looking forward to see what you will choose - sweater or cardigan.
Aww, thanks my dear! Everyone need a dino!
