Hijacked!

I've been hijacked! What's a girl to do?


Did I tell you I got a copy of Nicky Epstein's "Knitting Beyond the Edge"?
Did I tell you that it has a great design in it that uses Jamieson's Heather Aran?


and when you've got all of the shades at your fingertips (well, at a short trip down the stairs to the wool room), well, you get the picture, it's easy to be hijacked!


The design is called "Faux Fair Isle Jacket" -- it's definitely "Faux" - done flat, sewn together, with a few rows that use 3 shades. On the plus side, this yarn is gorgeous, the shades are fabulous, and put them all together and it's delicious!


Happy Knitting!

    Dear Anne:

    The only one I don't have of the "edge" series, is Beyond the Edge and I have been 'thinking' about it and wondering if I should. Perhaps you have pushed me 'over the edge' of indecision. A trip to Amazon is in order.

    That jacket sounds wonderful. The colors are great!

    Oh, so now I'm intrigued! I don't have any in the series, so I'll wait for your updates on it.

    How's Alcea?!

    Hi Anne- It's good to have a little diversion every now and then.

    And you didn't even have to leave the house.

    I love the 'Edge' series. I've got them all.

    I'd tell you how fabulous it looks, but I can only see the colors clearly......(clearly I'm begging for a knit only shot).

Bead Whimsey with Sivia Harding That was the name of the class that I took at the Toronto Knitters Frolic.  I have attended many workshops in my time, so it takes a special workshop to catch my attention. Do you know her? I have to admit, I wasn't aware of Sivia's work until it was announced that she was the special guest for the Frolic. When I did some research on line, I was intrigued by her beaded knits and signed up right away! "Bead Whimsey" did not disappoint! Sivia brought so many examples of her beaded knits. We talked about the different beads available out in the bead wor...
