YAY!!!!

I got my copy of Mason-Dixon Knitting: Outside the Lines!



Lets just say I have DEVOURED it and have already read it cover to cover....and it's GREAT! (What did you expect! I loved the first book!) I already want to knit literally EVERYTHING in the book. I love knitting books like that!!!!!



The pictures are gorgeous, the patterns seem to be very well written & explained... the new ideas and creative things are amazing! I mean, look at this COAT!



I would have said a knitted coat would just look like a big sweater but that definitely looks like a COAT! I want one! lol

And this BAG... zomg... i would have to learn how to felt AND duplicate stitch but I totally think it would be worth it to have that. I love it.




Anyway, enough gushing... I am going to cast on some cabled fingerless gloves for one of my friends :) Have a great weekend!

P.S. Bridal shower #2 tomorrow with my fiance's family! I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Scarf

I was itching for a new project, something simple and fun. I decided to see what I could make with this giant ball of mystery wool that I bought off of Cynthia when she was having her stash sale.



I finally settled upon a 2x2 ribbed scarf. I am happy with the progress so far, I am just worried that it won't be long enough when I run out of yarn.



It is just something mindless to knit on during law & order... haha. Of course I am neglecting a knitted tie I am working on for my dad...



I am making that up as I go, using a storebought tie as a template. So far its OK... just hope I can get the increases right for the "fat" part of the tie.



Anyway, hope everyone had a nice labor day weekend. I was a total bum and didnt do much! Which is too bad because OMG ITS SEPTEMBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2 wedding showers, being a bridesmaid in my friend's wedding, meeting with my florist/DJ/caterer, dress fittings, getting the boys to go to their tux fittings, finding shoes, finding a place to get our HAIR DONE ZOMG!!!!!!!!!

OK time to lie down now :-)
