Which Buttons?

Now it’s time to decide on which buttons to sew onto my long awaited Tangled Yoke cardigan. I went to Dressew last week and spent far too long looking at their extensive button collection.

The Long Red Scarf

Here’s a children’s book to delight the knitter in all of us. Unfortunately it’s out of print, but still available through used book sellers and I found this copy at the public library.

The Long Red Scarf by Nette Hilton and illustrated by Margaret Power

Grandpa covets the long, woolly scarf his friend, Jake wears when they go fishing together.

Even more important than finding my lost yarn and lost book, Hana found his lost MelonHead skull toque given to her by Carmen, herself! She lost it last year at school less than a week after Carmen gave it to her.

Knitter’s Gallery

I gives me such a thrill when knitters send me pictures of the sweaters they’ve knit using my patterns. I love seeing the colourways they choose. I especially love it when they send a photo of the sweater in action–that is, being worn by the baby for whom it was knit.

Fog

We’ve been having uncharacteristically foggy weather for several days now. I think it’s affecting my memory. I still can’t find the yarn and now I can’t find a book I was given for Christmas.

Lost

Where or where can it be?? I can’t find the yarn I so neatly washed and reskeined to complete my Tangled Yoke sleeve. I must have put it “away” when I tidied up a bit before company came over.
