Some red socks(Lorna's Laces new Red Rover colorway)... and some JKnits, well, just because...
And the Classic Elite Sundance I ordered for the Lutea Lace Shoulder Shell from the new summer Interweave Knits...
I really like this yarn. It's a cotton/microfiber blend and while it's not stretchy like Rowan Calmer, it does have a nice feel and knits up very well.Today I received my copy of Knitting Nature that I had ordered from Amazon when they were selling it for $8.99 last week. I really like patterns that have a distinctly unique or handknit look and this book was full of them...
It also includes many patterns that are maybe a bit too distinctly unique for my taste. But I wouldn't be the one to identify those since my sense of fashion pretty much begins and ends at Old Navy and Kohls. Either way, I'm happy to own the book.

My goodness - how can you whip out the knits at the speed you do?!
I got the same book in the mail yesterday too (and, cough, a few others). Can't wait to see what you make. I love your red cardi - I am thinking I "need" one in a white.
You must stand like the lady in the blue sweater for your next photo shoot :o)
Up against a tree...
sleeves hanging down,
head tipped...
Yeah. Your boys can help you with that, I'm sure :o)
Laura - It's only an illusion. If you notice, I dream about and cast on way more than I every actually finish!
Donna - Oh yeah, my boys would be so helpful. It's like pulling teeth to get them to take my picture. Of bigger concern though... what if ants or some critters from the tree crawled in my hair??
There's a Knitting Nature KAL - knittingnature.blogspot.com. I joined a couple of weeks ago. I'm going to make the Ogee Tunic (the top pic on the right of the one's you showed). Fantastic book!
Where are you?
I hope you weren't carried away by ants.
More likely you are wandering around a baseball diamond somewhere in California :o)
