a friend of mine pointed out the new loop-d-loop book by Teva Durham, and BOY is it gorgeous. As she said “I never want to do anything ordinary again. if i don’t love the pattern AND yarn, it has no place in my life. ” And while I’m sure I’ll keep plugging away on my little projects, I have so many things that I have half started that I don’t love enough to work on obsessively. Maybe that’s my problem with finishing?
I am going to look this book up in the library, fershur. There’s a great review here for those knittingly inclined (JOY). And if I can’t get it through ILL than I guess I’ll have to track down my local yarn shop, hey? Oh, the “awful” things I will do for knitting! What “self-sacrifice!”
Ah the knitting is so on hold with all the drywalling adventures going on. I miss it!
It will have to wait for me. I have all this yarn in stash now and a short backlog of patterns that I want to try out. Some of the yarn is really nice, some of it just weird and playful, but all of it calls to me and tells me stories in the dark. It’d be creepy if it wasn’t so nice and fuzzy.
ha! fuzzy whispery things in the dark are MUCH better than scaley skittery things!
