December is Lots of Teeny Projects Month
December 2nd, 2007 | 1 Comment
NaKniSweMo is over. I wore Rogue yesterday, decided it needed some finesse in the shaping, and am now re-blocking it. So I guess I didn’t make the deadline. Boo. But I did finish all the knitting in November. So I’ll call it a half-victory.
But I’ve been knitting almost nothing but sweaters (re-knitting old sweaters, in fact) for the last two months and now I really want to cast on for a billion tiny things.
Can I Get a Ruling on the Field?

Today is the last day of NaKniSweMo.
Rogue’s sleeves are knit and blocked. I have seamed one sleeve and am wearing it, in true bad 1980′s music video style, while I seam the other. Aran-weight wool is blessedly warm.
Book Review: The Knitter’s Book of Yarn

Happy Thanksgiving and Black Friday to my US readers!
Potter Craft was also kind enough to send me a copy of Clara Parkes’s new book, The Knitter’s Book of Yarn. I have a healthy appreciation for all things Clara, having been a member of Knitter’s Review almost since the day I learned to knit. But I think I might have passed this one by if I were just browsing in a bookstore or a local yarn shop.
And that would have been a dreadful, dreadful mistake. I’ve read the entire thing cover to cover and I really think that every serious knitter needs to own a copy of this book.
