Another grey day. Just finished writing up the conferences I have tomorrow. I keep wanting to post links, but then I can't remember if I got them off of Dangerous Chunky's website or not! Probably.
I did get the 'knitting blogger's' gif up, woo me.
got a bunch of links off of googleTM for HTML learning resources, so between cycling, learning HTML and blogging I'm not sure how much knitting I'll get done.
Yesterday I went to the sale annex of my local Barnes and Noble and bought Elizabeth Zimmermann's "Knitting Without Tears" yea yea yea!

Also last night I finished Kate's baby hat-cute- and decided to change who it's for as a) it's too big probably to be used right away for a newborn b) I know a slightly older baby that it will fit on and it will be seasonal and c) I gave the mother-to-be a book, Knitting for Babies by Melanie Falick (of Kid's Knitting fame) and some guy. Highly recommend this book, buy the way. Not too foo-foo, i.e. practical stuff you could actually knit up AND it gives you a do-able project in each chapter for what they present. They start out with garter, then purl, then color work and so on and so forth. I told the mom to be that I'd make her whatever she wanted out of the book.

I made the straps on the baby hat have a button. I'll have to take a pic and see if I can figure how to transfer it over to Blogspot.

I'm placing myself on a no more yarn-buying and knitting book buying until I get some of my projects done...
Here is a list for your viewing pleasure;
1. Cardigan from KnitIt mag. (getting toward the top of the back)
2. Short sleeved cotton tee for my MIL. (not started)
3. Thick THICK black wool sweater in the round from Rebecca magazine that my turn into something else and be felted. (gauge figured, barely a few rows started)
4. Fair Isle socks from the Vogue Socks book using Alice Starmore Shetland (not started yet)
5. Wool socks for my friend's b-day that I am totally not inspired to finish as getting wool socks just as Spring is coming on is sort of depressing...
6. Hey, I will have to finish this list later... gotta go to work. Don't die of suspense or anything.
