a simple yarn

‘What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.’             -King Solomon, Book of Ecclesiastes, chapter 1, verse 9.

I bought a few Vogue knitting magazines on eBay. I had seen this pattern for a Fair Isle waistcoat.

How cute! With the right colours, I think it’ll make a nice little statement under a jacket. I’ve never yet attempted Fair Isle. Sheesh, I’m still working out my intarsia shortcomings! But this little temptation has opened the door in my thinking, enough so, that I bought the magazine. Given time, I’ll work up my courage to buy the yarn and cast it on.

As I said, though, I bought a few magazines and as I was giving the others a perusal, I found this interesting article:

Why, just the other day, Masoumeh-From-The-Library-Knitting-Group-Who’s-As-Lovely-As-Her-Name, was asking me for the mitred square pattern. How serendipitous! I’ll pass this information along to her…

Wow, another gem! Having just recently had a Fibre-Fun-Play-Day-With-Dyes, I find this Kool-Aid article quite timely… Timely….hmmmm….

Do you think you’ve missed important stuff in the latest Vogue? Not to worry…did I mention that my eBay purchases were all published in 1994?!

While it may be said that there’s nothing new under the sun, perhaps another way of looking at it, good ideas are timeless!
