Sadly, I just found out that Noro World of Nature Volume 20 has been discontinued. There are so many excellent patterns in that book, I'm upset that it'll be gone soon. I'm holding onto one and I have one more available. After that, woosh - gone.
It's got the entrelac vest and basketweave jacket that have been so popular. I've made the vest, which is awesome, and want to make the basketweave jacket too.

Woo Hoo Knitting!
I spent 4 glorious days in Florida with my sister-in-law from New Mexico and my mother sitting by the poolside catching a tan and knitting! We had so much fun! It was a riot to see us relaxing on beach chairs in swim suits knitting away.
My sister-in-law hadn't knitted in a long time, but she picked it back up in no time. Of course, she keeps making little mistakes, so she says she's editing the pattern! She is so funny! She is knitting a sweater with the self striping Noro Silk Garden in beautiful blues and greens. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product!
My mom is working on a lace wrap in a soft cotton yarn by Misti International. She's almost done so we've selected a nice cotton blend (Touche I think it's called) from Berroco that she will make a sweater out of.
For my project, I have several going, but the most interesting is the Lizard Ridge Afghan. You make 24 squares of self striping yarn and put them together in the color fashion you desire. I'm using 24 different colors of Noro Kureyon. It's going to be a loooooong project!
Talk to you soon!
Keep knittin!

Another Snow Day Spent Knitting
On Friday here in New Jersey, we had about six inches of snow dumped on us. I spent half the day doing work (yuck!) right from my home and the other half knitting away safe and warm inside watching the flakes come down.
I've been working on knitting the Entrelac Shawl shown below. I've got it to about 60 inches with another 10" or so to go! Whew! So far I've used 10 skeins of Noro Silk Garden. And, yeah, I need to pick the pieces of grass out of it now and then, but it's the only yarn out there that stripes so beautifully. I've learned that if you soak Noro in Yucalin wash, it will soften up and the colors actually become more beautiful. I can't wait to try it!
I also purchased some Noro Kureyon to begin to make this Lizard Ridge afghan - click here for pattern. I can't wait to finish the shawl so that I can get started. Oh, but I forgot! I have two projects in front of this one - gifts! Yikes! I NEED MORE KNITTING TIME!
