Check out Cat Bordhi’s Magical Moebius Needle Quiver (.pdf file). I definitely want to make myself that! What a fabulous gift too!

I just love these Flame Socks! She used the Hot Tamale skirt chart from Knitty. I think they’re spectacular!

The Anticraft Imbolc Issue has been up for a few days, but I’ve been sick and haven’t felt like blogging. There is a message from the editrices about why the issue is out late this time. They lost someone they cared about to cancer and one pattern reflects their anger and grief. The other pattern (there are just 2 this time around) is for socks to keep a loved one warm through chemo. I do feel that knitting is a great form of therapy and hopefully these ladies will pick up their sticks, pick up a ball of something warm and cozy and knit themselves some comfort. There is also a recipe for some Comfort Cuban soup. Mmmmm

By the way, did Knitty forget our surprise? Surprise there is none? Not that I feel like knitting anyway. I am finished sleeve # 1 and have done my tubular cast on for sleeve 2, plus done the ribbing for the cuff and increased sts. Now the cabling begins. I still have the hood, the placket at the neckline, some ribbing around the pockets and the sewing and weaving in all those ends. Still a ways to go, but I’m feeling the end is near.

I’m too sick to knit! Now that IS sick.
