Slipped Stitches

A small group of knitters with a range of knitting experiences - from the wise Maple Girl to the careful and fresh faced Sauce, and the full throttle knit or die style of Sly. Enjoy our varied projects and thoughts, and if you don't have anything nice to say...well...you know.

 

Gift well received

Sauce, I am very excited to see Drew's little socklets. I loved the sassy pink wool you were using!

I am pleased to report that Coco's blanket and accessories were well received - I was very flattered when Mama Coco said she might have to start putting in orders with me. *blush* *patting self on back*

Alright people, I was just caught up in a frenzy of online shopping - chapters.ca just reeled me in.

I picked up that great book that I had taken out of the library about Russian style mittens...Knitting Marvelous Mittens has all sorts of patterns that remind me of the mittens that my aunts in Finland used to knit for us, and as I read the book I realized that alot of the designs are very similar.

I went in blind on this one, but it was five bucks - Double Knits - hopefully I won't be disappointed.

I couldn't resist Traditional Scandinavian Knitting - it looks like a pretty complicated book but hopefully I'll get good enough to apply some of the stuff in there.

I did pick up one non-knitting book - Popular Music from Vittula: A novel. It's had some interesting reviews...

Anyways, Paris is done shopping for now.
