Knit Worthy

Tonight I had the urge to go to Barnes and Noble and check out some of the new books I have been seeing lately. Nancy Bush has a new book, Vintage Socks. Since I have been thinking about socks lately, I thought it might be a good one to add to the collection. I was a little disappointed to see that the majority of the patterns are gentleman's and children's socks. Oh well, I guess they need cute knitted socks as well. This one is off the purchase list for now anyways. I also checked out Sally Melville's new book on Color. I just skimmed this one, but found the patterns to be nothing I would wear...at least at first glimpse. Her lessons are great however, so I am sure it would be a good resource for color work. I went ahead and purchased Wrap Style by Pam Allen & Ann Budd. I am diggin' several patterns in this book. I like the cover (Nordic Lights), Twisty Turns, Shadow Dance, and for lace...Shetland Triangle. Not sure what I will try first. Maybe Nordic Lights, but I do have the yarn for the Shetland Triangle. Maybe that can be a lace project for me and Knittripps to do together! This books is mostly capelets, ponchos, and tubes. I don't know if this is a style I will be sporting for the long run, after-all, I have yet to really wear the mistake rib poncho I made. Oh well, if we can't be intrigued by our knitting, what is the point?

I of course needed to have a Starbuck's cappuccino on the way out, nothing says good sleeping like a load of caffeine, eh? I am sure the dreams will be strange tonight. Oh well, warm drinks on a cool night are fab.

Oh by the way, check out the Knitty Fall surprises...the pumpkins are kinda cute!
