At the library

Could not get around the fact that yesterday the public library was closed (on Wednesdays!) so I spent the day thinking about all the books I was going to look for today.
I only spent about 1 hour there, sitting on a comfy couch, in silence, flicking through about 15 books, looking for ideas and inspiration.
Came back home with only four, as more would have been too heavy to carry. Moving from top left clockwise:
  • baby knits for beginners, by Debbie Bliss
  • Knit, Purl, Save the World – knit and crochet projects fro eco-friendly stitchers, by Vickie Howell & Adrienne Armstrong
  • One skein – 30 quick projects to knit and crochet, by Leigh Radford
  • The Knitter’s Year – 52 simple seasonal knits, by Debbie Bliss
The projects look gorgeous and simple…let’s see what I can make out of them!

Ongoing Projects

I’m so getting addicted to felt!! I bought some wool sweater from the charity shop just before summer, and after tossing them into the washer and washing them with soap on a hot cycle, they shrank like crazy! I then cut them in squares of three different sizes; they’ll make a very warm winter blanket, perfect for a cosy night on the couch!

The other project I’m working on is a knitting needles roll. The pattern came from here, and it just looks wonderful. I’m currently in the process of making two of those as Christmas presents, but I’m thinking of making one for myself too!
