and knitting

hmm

I'm so bad - I haven't knitted a stitch in more than a week. It's been on my mind though. I have some yarn to pick up at my favorite local yarn store and should get the urge to get started again soon. Hopefully I will come up with something more interesting to post at that time!

blah blah blah blah blah

The September fashion magazines are featuring loads of cute knits for fall. I love the Anna Sui number over on the left. I hope some of the cute styles trickle down to the knockoff brands quickly.

I haven't been knitting that much lately, hence the reason I haven't blogged. Frida is coming along, but I have a feeling I'll never wear it. I am just not fond of the color. It's a rather cheap looking red and I'm wishing I had made it in black. Oh well.

still need to pep up!

Thanks Froggy for linking to the fun new designs from Rowan. Not that I'm likely to ever get around to kniting them at the pace I'm going, but I quite like Yves and Maddy from Rowan #36 and Agnes from Vintage Style.

I should really think about doing something with my R2 yarn. Molly is making a quite cute shell with hers. While writing this post, I just noticed that the R2 site just redirects to the main Rowan site. Did they decide to can the whole line? I was looking forward to seeing what interesting fibers they came up with next. Strange.
