Little rewards

Posted by Cheryl on Jan 30 2007 | 1. Knit on Monday

Well, I suppose if I have no pics of what I’m knitting…the next best thing is to show what I’d like to knit.

Began the week by having coffee with Helen. ‘Let’s meet at Borders,’ she said. ‘Yippee!’ I replied. You see, Borders is a rather new option for Dublin book-buyers. Yes, we have bookshops. Yes, they’re nice. But they don’t always have the same variety of US published books for sale…at least, not the knitting kind. And thus, I hope you can appreciate my enthusiasm.

So as a reward for finishing Daughter-Kate’s cardigan (or fill in appropriate accomplishment here), I decided to treat myself to a little pressie.

I’ve been looking at this book for awhile now.
Yep, it wants to live at my house and inspire me…
And among the lovely patterns are those for which I have been searching….patterns already on my project list for the year-or so I’m telling myself and whoever will listen.

Look! The mitten with the pull back flap. All that’s needed is an extra pocket
for my Click-The-Disk-Instant-Heat-Handwarmers!

Right, I really want to do socks. This will inspire me to get on with it.

Always in need of cute gift ideas…felted wine bag. Very cool indeed.

    OK, now I’ve got to learn how to do socks. I’ve avoided them, but I can SO see those on a certain someone. Especially if I could manage to do them in black & white stripes.

    I’m felting my first hat this evening, though, so the sock knitting may have to wait.

    DO post pics when you’ve got them going.

    Blogger doesn’t want me to comment - I’ve tried a few times now. Just wanted to say that I think the mitten idea is cool, looking forward to seeing what you produce!

    Nothing better than having a project list planned out to the next millenium. Lots of fun things in that book!
