New Purchase

Today I made a trip to the book store and bought Vogue Knitting. What a great reference book! Just about everything you want to know about knitting is in that book. It will be great for designing my own sweaters. I am looking forward to pursuing knitting design. If I am successful I will post the patterns here on my blog.

Tomorrow I should have pictures of the felted bag, one before felting and one after. My niece asked me today if I was making her the present she asked for her birthday. It is a good thing I have it finished, my sister says I am not to show up at their house without it. She has been looking forward to it for a long time now. I made her sister one, so of course she needs one too! You know how kids are.

I am planning a trip to my LYS on Sunday to buy a drop spindle and some fiber. My boyfriend always reminds me when I tell him of my new endevors that "You can buy sweaters at the store." He just doesn't get it. He is a musician and is very creative and just refuses to see knitting as being creative. But for the most part, he always is complimentary of my finished objects, so he does see why I enjoy the art of knitting.
