i havent knit with the new addis, but i’m curious to see how they stand up…

i was wondering if you know of any one whos knit the forest canopy in lace weight? i bought 600 yards of silk tussah lace weight at stitches and wanted to do a lace project with it. besides being my fave, forest canopy is one of those patterns that can take on a small amount of yarn…what do you think?

Destash strikes again! Great find.

I’m shying away from yarns that are hard on my hands these days.

Another reason to love knitting socks!

I really like that book – I’ve gazed longingly at it several times. My secret pal knit me a really nice bag from it. What is that you are knitting?

The book likes fun.
I got my needles Monday or Tuesday and ordered another pair and got them today! Can’t wait to start my socks. I tried doing the magic loop by the cable really wasn’t long enough for comfort. Nice needles though.

Thank you Susan, now I am reminded again, that I can not order the needles because littleknits wants me to order at least for 25 Dollars and there is nothing else I want to have right now. Grmpf. Tell me if it is worth ordering them, will you?

This is a fun book, full of quick gift ideas… I will go a long time before tapping it out completely.

OOOOH! Addi Lace! I gave my own review of various needles for lace a while back on my blog, and settled for the Bryspun Bryflex Circs (best points). But this may be the next Lace Idol! Let us know what you think.

So what are you making with the ribbon yarn? I’ve got a little of that lying around, and have been eyeing the One Skein Wonders book, too.

It’s good to see that Addi has responded to the Knit Picks foray into nickel-plated needles. I’ll have to give them a try sometime.

Love my new Addi Turbo Lace needles. I don’t love the brass smell, either, but I’m finding the more I knit with them the less they smell ‘brassy’. Dunno …
