My thoughts on the fall Knitty.
Arisaig: pretty, I like wrap tops in theory, but the never seem to look right on me, so I’m scared of knitting one and spending ages on something that won’t look good.
Samus: want it, want it now. But not in orange.
Cinxia: I’m undecided. In one picture it looks nice, in the top one it doesn’t look like it fits right. Not for me.
Josephine: pretty, but for something that big, I’d just buy it. I’d love to knit it, but it’d take years. Maybe when I’m not in school.
Blackberry: shrugs are growing on me, and this is nice in that is it almost big enough to be a cardie.
Revolution: I love the stitch, but again, it’d take years, so no.
Lacey: ick. I’m sorry, but poufy sweaters are not something I would ever wear. ever.
Leaves in Relief: OMG Tree of Gondor sweater!!!
Bloom: oooh, a shawl I like! I like very much.
Ella: meh. Yet another lace shawl. Interesting shape though.
Flora: pretty, but I like my long scarves
Hipster: It’s still a fanny pack, and ever though it’s felted, I could see the belt part stretching
Falling Leaves: I’m a sucker for leafy things.
Bubby: Adorable, btu I don’t see what makes it a koala bear.
Edgar: I like it! But Kureyon is so rough for a scarf.
Astrodome: Unfortunate choice of name, considering recent events, but I like it. I’m not really a hat person, but I have had my hair cut, and may consider knitting myself this one.

Stuff I want to do:
-Felted Slippers - like ballet shoes, only warmer and more comfortable. I might even give them some proper soles.
-The Rockstar Jacket on this page. All thoughts of the sweater I started last winter have just fled my head.
-both the llamas and the sheep on this page. Just because they amuse me. The llamas more so.
-the yoga socks at the very bottom of this page. Those would be great Christmas presents for those friends of mine who do yoga.
-Quick and easy raglan sweater
-This is a ‘one day’ sweater. One day I”ll do it. Not soon.
-I want to knit a ton of dead muppet scarves so I can do the UVic craft fair in November, as I don’t have classes that day.
-scarf for mum for Christmas (got the wool already)
-luxurious scarf (or gloves) for me. I have that gift certificate, I may buy cashmere.
-uber-secret project what I’m designing myself. More on it later.
-a skirt. I was set on the one in the Fall 04 IK, but I actually got out a measuring tape, and it’s much longer than I want. It’s practically ankle-length! I may still do it, and omit one lace section or something.
-I also want to design my own huge knitted blanket from blocks in this book.

I now work in a bookstore, and I can see that my knitting library is going to grow rapidly in the coming months. I think working in a bookstore is not a good idea for me, because they’ll direct deposit my money, and it’ll just go in the hole where all the money I spent on books was.

EDIT: scratch the felted sheep up there, I’d much rather make Sam the Ram and Sue the Ewe.
