After a long hiatus of working through my grief over the loss of Bandit followed by the challenges of puppy rearing, I finally feel the desire to come back to my love of knitting, crocheting, cross stitching, crafting and the wonderful online communities like Ravelry :) I am rejoining the land of the living (crafting) with some links that I think fellow knitters will enjoy!
Remember our very awesome MagKnits and desperately sad it was to lose it? Guess what? I’ve found it :) If you’ve not already found it yourself, hop on over to Knotions Magazine. I already plan to knit Art Deco for my mother-in-law’s big antique buffet in her front entrance. It is perfect. Then of course, I must knit myself one for my dining room table.
Ok, so I found something else today called Twist Collective. While the patterns there are not free, it is a lovely site.
Then, if you haven’t already gone out and bought Vogue Knitting Fall 2008, then you should. There is a great focus on Canadian designers and Canadian Knitting Resources! YAY! I love it! And, if you’ve never been to a Stitch N Pitch event, I have to tell you, you are actually missing out. For the 2009 event, be sure to bring any of your “don’t wants” from your stash. A yarn swap was set up and Allyson and I scored big! Now Winston is barking and I have to walk him and I’m hungry and I need a nap…. But I will return. I have loads of photos to share….. phew. It is fun to be back though! |
