I’ve been getting bored at work lately, and so have been surfing knitting books on the web. If anyone complains, it is work related, I am in charge of the craft section after all.
The downside is that I’ve been adding more and more things to my ‘to knit list’, and I’ve also had to resist buying a lot of knitting books. Time to share a few new finds of mine:

Lush, from Rowan’s Denim People. The upside is that I do have this book already! The downside: not only is it a tunic (more fabric to knit), it’s in yarn that shrinks 20% after washing, so you have to knit it 20% longer to begin with (even more yarn)! But it sure is pretty. Still undecided as to which shade of the denim I’d use. I really like the super-dark blue, and the cream is also nice, although I hear it is scratchier to knit with.

Glad from Rowan 39
I don’t have this Rowan yet, sadly, so that would add to the cost of the cardi. I liked working with Kidsilk Haze for mum’s scarf. But again, lovely garment that is made up of entirely too much fabric. That’s a whole lot of knitting. For this one, I’m thinking Kidsilk Haze in either Trance (blue), Hurricane (different blue), or Jelly (green). Oh, or Candy Girl (bright PINK).

Silk Sleeves from One Skein
I have this book, so that’s good. Also, the whole project is only one ball of KSH. I think I’d be more likely to wear these in the colour ‘Jelly’, than a whole sweater. I like the colour, but it is a bit… loud.

I haven’t actually done any knitting because I don’t feel like the Bubble Jacket, and I need to buy some needles to start the colourwork on the armwarmers. And all I really feel like doing is napping.
