I’ve lost the charger for the battery in my digital camera and I feel at a loss without it. This last weekend I knit my first real sock - I’m not counting the fuzzy foot because it wasn’t on those tini tiny needles. Those needles, by the way, now have me feeling as though anything above a size 2 may as well be a baseball bat. And alas, I can’t show you the result - it’s made of a patterning yarn that lays out in a mock fair isle, very fun. I’m already half way through the second sock - such accomplishment!
I think I’ve found another project - I’ve only had one or two going at once lately and that feels very strange. So I’m looking at this design from Berroco called Kate. I think I’m going to adapt the pattern to fit the 20 balls of Lakeside Rowan Wool Cotton I’ve had in my stash for the last year - it will be good to get that out and wearing.

I heard about Leenas.com this morning in an email from Pattern Review. I’m in the middle of something at work but didn’t want to lose the link and thought I’d share. Leenas makes software for drafting your own patterns; several versions from freeware to professional. Has anyone used this before? I think I’m going to install the freeware version this weekend and see what it’s all about….
Also, check out The Sewing Place for closeout patterns…
“Miss Bea’s Playtime” - for the beginning knitter, though I think the stripes would be fun for someone more experienced.
“Miss Bea’s Colours” - With some added textures, though not much more advanced than the Playtime book.
“Rowan Babies” - a big book of Kim Hargraeves designs - a lot of de ja vu.
“Rowan Creative Living” - Quick sew projects for their fabrics like a 4 fabric kite - what a great idea!
See them all, with pictures of every pattern, at Colorway
