a girl can never have enough boots

love these steve maddens.

never ending search for the perfect bag

could this be it? moop bags seem so perfect.

my fiddlehead mitts. not bad for a first attempt at color work. i lurve them. they make me insanely happy every time i put them on. i haven’t blocked them yet because i can’t stop wearing them. they are lined them with a sassy purple. kits available from tanis fibre arts.

oh dear

they're cheaper than my other pair...

back in february, amy and i were pawing through baskets of yarn at the LYS during their sale. amy pounced on the new jo sharp yarn and picked up her latest book knit 1. i drooled over the cowl sweater and amy drooled over the cardigan. she bought the yarn for the cardigan but passed on the book, hoping the guild had it in the library.

at the next guild meeting amy bailed on me but i asked the library ladies to pick up the jo sharp book. they did and it was in at this month's meeting on tuesday night. i picked it up for amy and have barely put it down since. there are 5 (5!) sweaters and three pairs of socks in that book that i want to knit. one sweater is for the boy the rest are for me! me! me!


i think i need to buy the book. i think 5 patterns in one book justifies a purchase. i am afraid to go to the LYS and paw through the yarn. here's the specs:
