new knitting book

I just got myself a copy of Knitting Block by Block by Nicky Epstein. Love the hardback and the photography, more on the actual blocks once I get through the book )and maybe test knit a few)

Bitterroot is exhausting me...am at 80%, REALLY want to finish and block it before the ladies lunch at my place next week (vanity, vanity)....but the stitch counts have gone up and the purl rows are boring me...yeah my fingers are itching to swatch with the worsted silk i got off ebay, but i am being stern.

im back ...

with a new 'about me' writeup on both blogger and ravelry.

Startitis. Short attention span. Love lace. Knitting on circulars only. Love animal fiber. Acrylic works sometimes. but mostly merino, alpaca and wool blends. I. can't. knit. socks. Need to de-stash. Spend 60% of my monthly allowance on yarn (and knitty bits). TG for a tolerant husband! Homemaker. Displaced desi. Go through phases. Hats. Cables. Now, lace. Trying to write a novel. Knitting competing with plotting though :(

i love my writing (when it does happen!)
