Not to say that we all don’t love a good bargain, but there is something truly magical (especially for Brandy) about the 2 for $3 bin at our local craft store. Every time we walk by it, I know that Brandy will stop, bury her face in it, and give it a big hug. I took this picture to prove to her that she is having a very personal and somewhat inappropriate relationship with the bargain bin. Don’t even get me started on her behavior with the new scented Sugar ‘n Cream yarn.
On the Mary front, I finally finished my turtleneck tube vest from Stefanie Japel’s wonderful book, Fitted Knits. I love the top down construction – it is very intuitive and just makes great sense. I even used the same color that was pictured in the book – loving the periwinkle (not very imaginative I guess).
Up next – out of Twinkle’s Town & Country Knits, the printmaker’s pullover. I am done with the sleeves, but I had to special order the size 19, 29″ and 24″ needles. Love how fast the sleeves went – but I feel like I am knitting with kindling, damn those needles are big!
I guess to sum it up, knitting is full steam ahead over here – hello fall, I love you!

Oh that Periwinkle sweater is fabulous! I made TWO I love them so much, my first was a heathered grey and the 2nd was the also a version of periwinkle. HA! I never knit the same color pictured, but in this case, Stefanie Japel had it figured out! Nice job on knitting it up, you should get lots of compliments on it!
2!? that is awesome. I won’t even embarrass myself by saying how long this one took me. I bet I finished 20 other items in the interim. I did add about 2.5 inches to the length, when looking on Ravelry at the other versions a lot of them looked a little on the short side…
