New book

Sam (and anyone else interested in Glampyre designs),

Did you see that Stephanie Japel has a book coming out next year? Fitted Knits. I've also been looking at the new one Sahara. I came really close to ordering the pattern. The actual design was done by Wendy Bernard at Knit & Tonic but it was published under Stitch Diva.

Any comments on Erika Knights' new books? I haven't seen Glamour Knits or Classic Knits in person but I usually like her stuff.

Done and Dusted


Gosh, how easy is that mobius pattern! This has actually been finished for a few days now but just got around to taking a photo! I used every bit of that Silver Thaw and had to cast off the last 10 stitches with some leftover Silk Garden. I just love it! I'm going to make one for Grace once I figure out how to make a smaller one.

Mobius madness



Thanks for all the advice on casting this on. I'm still searching for the right fit for a knitting group. The best one I've been to has been at Circles but it's not the same as being around you guys on a Sunday afternoon and being able to call with questions. Anyway, the mobius has been cast on! And I think I've done it right! Sheelagh, I love this Silver Thaw. Why didn't I ever buy any before?? And the color is perfect. So many other projects started but I think this one is going to be finished quite soon. It's already very cold here so it will be a welcome addition.
