I'm about to shove off to bed, but before I do I want to pass the word to those that may not have caught wind of this yet. There is a new online knitting magazine up and running. The patterns are not free :( but they are gorgeous enough for me to not care. The articles are pretty informative, especially the one by Cat Bordhi and an amazing new way to knit a sock (I swear that woman could find a way to knit a bicycle into a sock!). The layout is really cool too, you just click on the sidebar to "turn" the page. Probably the most beautiful feature though (besides the lovely patterns) is the photography (ATTENTION: MAURA!!!!), they divide the sections of patterns up into themes, and.....you just have to see for yourself. They're so much fun!
Anyway, this is my obsession: Wisteria. I've been searching online for a yarn that will work that won't make the sweater be $60. I think I can do Knit Picks Swish for about $40, but I don't know what the yarn feels like. Has anyone used it? Is it soft and "sweaterable"? There are also a few other patterns that I want to make, but this one will be first (if I make any, that is).
So there, go forth and drool!
