Because it’s been a while since I posted anything about knitting…

A study in contrasts:

Splendid knitting patterns from the new Knitty. This sweater is going to be my next Big Ambitious Project.

Hideous knitting patterns from You Knit What??, with snarky commentary. Thank God I’m not the only one horrified by eighties sweater design. (C/o Frogs and Ravens.)

    Gorgeous sweater. I can knit scarves and shawls, but there seems to be no time!
    Anyway, Blogger is down and I can’t reply to your comment, so re Bookdarts, go here, and click on the individual customer section. It’s a good deal compared with the stores…when I bought my first tin from the uni, it was about $9 for 50; now I usually buy in lots of 300/$30.
    And hurrah, eventually, the tin came open. But thank you for the advice.

    Off the subject, but have you seen Serenity yet?

    Oh, thanks! Book darts are one of those underappreciated but completely brilliant inventions, so it’s always good to have a source.

    Clancy: No, not yet. Friday night I was having dinner with friends, Saturday night I had a ticket to a symphony concert, and the buses don’t run here on Sunday (and, of course, Serenity is only showing at the movie theater that requires a bus ride and not the nice convenient downtown one. Grr.). I’ll most likely go tomorrow evening.
