news for knitters

The latest Stitch 'n' Bitch book, which is a whole collection of patterns for dudes, is available for preorder . . . and my friend Stef has a pattern in it! It's even on the cover!! (I believe it's the one on the far left.) She is a knitting superstar!

I was going to make Hug from Magknits, but I haven['t found a yarn I like yet (any recommendations?). I want something supersimple so I can knit while I watch tv on dvd!

Hmm. If you were looking for something colorful (but a bit spendy) I'd say go for Noro Iro.

If you want something soft and pretty but not necessarily with automatic striping built in, try Misti Alpaca Bulky. Mmmm.

Seriously, I'd just wander down to the yarn store, check out their bulky yarns, and see which of 'em had a color I was interested in. That's how I ended up with that muted green Rowan Soft Tweed for my "anthropologie capelet" minisweater.
