Happy 1st Anniversary, Purl!

Is there anything better than a full new bag of yarn?   Purl Yarn Boutique  is celebrating their one year anniversary with a sale (and a party tonight at 7 if you are a Billings-ite!) so these just had to come home with me on this par-tay day: These lovelies are  Berroco's   Ultra Alpaca Tonal  in Ura (#6321, purples) and Oliva (#6318, greens)

New Addi Lace Clicks (and Rainbow Girl!)

I have no business buying new needles, but look what came in the mail today:   New Addi Clicks Lace!!! (Cheering from my computer!!) I have the original Addi Clicks, but am finding as my knitting preferences change, I am liking the pointier needles to get into those stitches faster and manipulate them quicker.  I have a credit with  DreamWeaverYarns.com  and finally couldn't resist this set.

Caffe (think accent at the "e")

When  Berroco  released their Fall booklets last year, the knitting muses insisted I make this: Caffe  knit with  Voyage  and   Nanuk  from  Booklet #314 Berroco Voyage & Berroco Nanuk .  My sweet papa gave me a gift card for  Purl  for my birthday and it went immediately to this vest. I have to say, I tried to not be a total groupie and pick different colors than the sample, but this is what I came home with: Voyage has a chainette construction that is so squishy and flexible while the 93% super fine alpaca and 7% polyester makes it pretty much knitting heaven.

Knook and Books!

My latest design for  Leisure Arts , yummy one cable Hand Mitts, with three sizes available in the pattern: The pattern is featured in their new book,  Learn to Knook : Though I was skeptical at first, it truly is knitting with a crochet hook. The crochet hook acts as one “needle” and the cord hanging from the crochet hook is the second “needle.” Here I am testing out the Knook: This is no surprise, but I did miss my second “needle” but then I love knitting and am in no way looking for anything to replace it.

Linsey, Sorolla … and more!

So much to share! Amidst this semi-winter we are having in Montana, we all enjoyed the sunny skies in Arizona for a makeshift Spring Break.

So much to share! Amidst this semi-winter we are having in Montana, we all enjoyed the sunny skies in Arizona for a makeshift Spring Break. Of course I spent more time trying to decide on what knitting to pack than on any other part of the vacation. Surprised?

The Zipper Almost Won

Notice the word “almost”: Right after I blogged about this little number, I did try to put the zipper in. Turns out in my last minute change from a size 2 to a size 4, my zipper was too short. So the sweater and too small zipper rode in my van for almost a week while I avoided the unavoidable.
