It's Been a Long While

Yes, I know it's been a long while since I've posted. How's the Christmas knitting? Once again I'm starting late. It's November! My goal was to start in August, oh well maybe next year. I found a really cool pattern for slippers, www.cocoknits.com, they call for Malabrigo. I was chatting with a customer and we decided that Malabrigo is a nice yarn but may not be as durable as Manos for slippers. So Manos it is! These babies should go fast! I'm also working on a pair of knucks and still haven't finished Flair. Finally got my invite to ravelry. Talk about time sucker!! I could spend days on that site. I love it and would recommend every knitter and crochetier sign up. I have wonderful new sock yarn in the shop and it has inspired me to knit a pair of socks for my dad for Christmas. Several new books from Interweave have arrived as well, tempting me to start several new projects for myself. The softest Bamboo yarn as well as a wonderful soy and bamboo mix yarn are calling me so I must go. I hope to post some pictures soon.
