New online knitting mag,
Gauge is not my friend, never was and never will be. Four inches into this new project I hit an oh-oh moment, you know the kind that makes you want to re-check gauge just in case... I shouldn't have but I guess it's best that I did. Sigh! Zoe's been wearing the same fall hat for two years now, so Lucas is insisting he needs his own. I am using the pattern from the 2005 Knitting pattern-a-day calender, it's the february 11 date. Back to cast on but first I have to get back to my homework before school.
Had a lovely sunday, the weather was so-so but we still spent the afternoon outside walking around town with the kids. Stopped by a yarn shop with a BIG dog (that kept Lucas busy!) and had the surprise of getting great customer service. The first time I entered the store I almost came out crying and giving up knitting, now I enjoy the service I get and almost prefer this store to others. LOL! Zara yarn was bought for Lucas and the colors match his winter coat perfectly. I still have this hat design in mind but perhaps I'll knit it for Carl, he'd enjoy it I'm sure. :)
Have you seen the new online knitting mag? It's called Men Knit and for a first issue it is pretty neat! :) Check out the last page, that crossword kept me busy for quite a while and still, I have only found half of the words. Very nifty, I want to see more crosswords in the future! Great job Men Knit, maybe Carl can design and knit a project for a future issue. ;)
hugs,
