Back when I was first teaching myself to knit, I decided to invest in this book...The Knitting Dictionary. It saved me a few times, but as my knitting progressed, I found that there wasn't really any book out there to really, really answer all my questions. I surf the web a lot, and alot of people have reviewed this book by Vogue Knitting and have recommended it. Well, when I got my latest 40% off coupon from Joann's, I made a beeline top the store to get it. So far, I haven't had a chance to look at it because I also picked up the latest Knit1. Can't decide if there's anything in there I would make.
Anyway, I've also included a shot of secret project #1...part 2. I'm using flame stitch from The Knitting Dictionary. Imagine my horror when I discovered that there were 2 errors in the pattern. It's not like I could look up to see if there were any error corrections on this book...it was published in the 80's I think. Well, I'm happy to report that I figured out both errors, and as you see the knitting progresses. And while I'm working on this, I need to figure out if I will go to see Billy Joel in January with Red. I've seen him twice before, and he really puts on a great show...I'm stalling on this because it'll be another hundred bucks out the door, and I haven't paid Red the hundred for the Bon Jovi ticket yet! Yeah, and all this after the Christmas shopping, too.
I'm also happy to report that I did indeed get my beads for secret project #2, and I also got the chance to sit down and graph the 2 designs I want to use. The Swarovski wouldn't work, and I had to get a cheapo substitute. I hope this thing won't look too cheesey.
This week is my knitting group. Yea! I'm gonna have to pick some brains there regarding these 2 secret projects. Catch ya on the flip!
