I keep seeing certain patterns/books that strike my fancy. Of course I know we aren’t supposed to share but if anyone has them & would let me ‘look’ at them that would be super-fantastic! I hate buying patterns/books and being dissapointed.
;)
I love AV patterns. They are so simplistic in their style yet the details are amazing!
Knitting was great last night! Erin was there, YAY!! She looks beautiful & glowing with baby on board. It gives me the slightest pang of wanting another pregnancy/baby experience but then I snap back to my senses with the reality that there are more than enough babes on this planet already & I have a contribution number of 3. That’s plenty. I meant to take photos but I was so tired & in a haze that I didn’t even think to get the camera out of my bag. I didn’t get a lick of knitting done either. Just a lot of talking!
Suzanne is making the most fantastic capelet/poncho/shrug out of scrap yarns. She is a green-fiend so it’s mostly tonal greens with a splash of orange and brown. LOVE IT!
Tracy is working on her first pair of 2 needle socks. I think once she gets past the gauge swatch and a bit into the sock she will not hate it quite so much. I do believe there are some people that should devote their precious knitting time to things other than socks. She may be one of them. I am pretty sure that stress knitting is not good for your sanity. Socks have a tendency to do that to some people.
Thuy is interested in a sewing group of some sort. If we can come up with a good plan I think it might be the thing to get some of us motivated to start sewing again. I mean real sewing, not just the necessities like needle cases & purses.
Kristen had her friends pattern for the cutest knit (without felting) maryjane slippers. Made with Noro Kureyon they are so cute! I am not going to pay for the pattern but they are damned cute! 
I am on a bit of a deadline for my sisters blanket, I have to have it done today. I have put myself on short notice. The rounds are now taking me close to 10 minutes each & I have at least 4 hours worth of work to finish it. So, that is what I will work on throughout today & tonight in between cleaning, kids, laundry, etc.
I don’t know how realistic finishing Starsky before Disneyland on Monday is but I am sure as hell going to try! I have one sleeve, one front and all the finishing to do. That is a tall order I do beleive, even for me! Good thing it is going to rain all weekend so I have an excuse to sit and knit!
Thuy, this is for you. I found a few patterns that may just have motivated me into sewing.
then there is this, hot I tell you, HOT
