Today was like Christmas all over again. A good friend of mine, designer Lisa Ellis, has a new booklet out with 6 wonderful, beautiful sweaters and today at knitting group she gave us all a copy. Along with that, her wonderful husband gave us desktop calendars with beautiful pictures taken by Cannon. It's so much fun getting gifts when your not expecting it. Lisa's book can be found at:
Also today, our amazing knitting group started a KAL (knit along). After numerous emails (that irritated our husbands, lol) and looking at a ton of sweaters on http://www.ravelry.com/ we narrowed it down to 2. With 5 ladies, and 5 different body types, you can imagine how hard it was to find a sweater that we all could agree on. So, after much deliberation, three of us are making the February Lady Sweater ( http://www.flintknits.com/blog/?p=151) and the other two will be making the Wavy Textured Hooded Vest (http://www.sweaterbabe.com/knitting-patterns/wavy-textured-hooded-vest.htm). I will be making the Feb. sweater but am seriously considering making the vest on the side. Am I NUTS? After reading the 12 page pattern I think I might be. But, hey, I'm always up for a challenge. After all, I was told today that I NEEDED to challenge myself. How can I pass that up? So, Sue and Lisa, watch out cuz here I come!
