{Yarning Along with Ginny again as I do most Wednesdays...}
Sorry for the flash pic, but January sunlight is just not being kind to me this week!
The mint green socks from last week are complete (more details later in the week), and I'm trying another vanilla pair, this time in worsted weight for a faster knit and thicker sock. I know it's nothing fancy, but I'm going to try the heel a little differently and see if I like the fit better. After this I think I'm going back to a bit of baby knitting, but I've got to take advantage of the sock knitting mojo while I have it, you know?
I'm reading on my kindle again this week- Organized Simplicity. I was just about to buy a copy of this book when I saw it come up for free on kindle and took advantage. (It's no longer free to everyone, but as of this writing it's free for Amazon prime members). I've just started it, but already found a lot to love.
My 4-year-old is responsible for the Knitted Monster book. He's in love with all things Stitch (as in Disney's Lilo and Stitch) so any kind of monster or alien thing is something he equates with stitch. When he saw this book on a highlighted knitting display while at our library the other day he said I *had* to get it for him. He looked through and picked a monster for me to knit on the way home- so maybe a knitted monster will be up next?

The wee one here loves Lilo and Stitch so thank you for the book recommendation. I guess knit monsters will be in my future! :)
ReplyDeleteI have the monster book and still haven't got around to making myself one (yep, for me, I have no kids and I want monsters anyway!)
ReplyDeleteGood going on the sock mojo, worsted weight ones sound quick, comfy and very cosy!
Very cool monster book! And organized simplicity is still available free for the nook (through barnes and noble) I think everyone seems to be reading that this week, me as well :-)
ReplyDeleteI just got the free book as well, hoping it will help. I'm going to have to check out this monster book!
ReplyDeleteThis organize book is popping up everywhere! I think I need to do a flip through when I am at a bookstore soon. I bet you will be knitting monsters in your near future :)
ReplyDeleteWow, I must have been really lucky because I was able to download that book and I'm not a Prime member. Whoops.
ReplyDeleteHmmm...that yarn looks very familiar. ;-)
Knitted monsters would fit nicely in a small Valentine surprise package....
ReplyDeleteMy sons would love those monsters. They always tell me that everything I make is for girls : )
ReplyDeleteI know that my four year old would have done the same. He would flick through and build up a huge list of the little monsters that would fit right into his bedroom. Quick, hide the book!
ReplyDeleteThe book is so good!!
ReplyDeleteI love Rebecca Danger's patterns. I need to check the book out of the library again!
ReplyDeleteThat knitted monsters book looks like a lot of fun!
