Some Reading

The Free Range Knitter - very funny and full of stories in the Yarn Harlot's sense of humour which makes me laugh. Similar to her first novel with the same sort of cover. I read it over a few nights and loved it. Definately a must read.
A Fine Fleece - really beautiful patterns, a lot of cabled ones which I adore and can see putting on my to knit list (which must be miles long by now). I would definately recommend this book to anyone who loves those sorts of patterns. I am definately going to add some to my ravelry queue too.


On Friday morning I went shopping at Spotlight again. I picked up some Soft Haze for $1.99 a ball. Now I dont normally like fluffy wool as it makes me itch but this feels so soft and beautiful, and the color choices are really nice too. I purchased about 5 colors to knit up some xmas pressies. I will try and remember to post them here so you can take a peek. They also had a few new cottons which were quite nice. They seemed very thin though to knit up on size 4mm needles so I resisted. I seem to have a few cotton projects at the moment that I need to finish up. I cannot believe that Christmas is only 6.5 weeks away. My how this year has flown! Now to just wait for my secret swap pressie to arrive in the mail.
