Remember when I told you that items knitted with i-cord seem to be in after I saw them again and again at the H+H craft fair?
The funny thing is that's exactly how I knit a few weeks back!
This spring has been all about cowls. I've made so many! It's juyt the way knitting (or life, in fact) is for me - I get utterly and completely fascinated about something, devote my time to it almost exclusively... and at some point I'm through. I've seen it with shawls especially: in 2010 I knit one shawl after another - and after that I've hardly finished any!
So let's see how long it will take with the cowl enthusiasm to wear off. It's not gone, yet!
Last night I got a call from a friend of mine, a knitting instructor and a friend of a yarn shop owner, who happened to have free tickets to the H+H Cologne, a huge, international trade fair, ans asked me if I would like to come along tomorrow (that is, today, Saturday). I was thrilled and of course agreed.
So this morning we took the train to the Cologne fair and entered the fair with little expectations.
If you are into a frugal lifestyle or saving money at all, I am sure you have heard of Amy Dacyczyn and her book The Complete Tightwad Gazette. In the early nineties, she published a newsletter The Tightwad Gazette, and this book is a compilation of all those newsletters, filled with frugal advice, articles and tips on how to save money with everything you do.
Sorry for the longer blog silence, but my darling husband Nick was updating the software my blog runs on, Drupal, from version 6 to version 7. The design stayed the same, but the site is safer and more up-to-date on the background.
We checked that everything runs smoothly before going live - but please, if you notice anything weird or something not working on Worsted-Knitt.net, please leave a comment and we'll check it out.
