knitting events and wips

Well, I just got back from a very fun little event at Third Place Books. Larissa Brown, author of Knit Along, came to talk about her book this evening. It was great-- and I bought the book! I haven't bought a knitting book in a while... or, ever, really, but I love this book. Great concept. Plus, I really want to make the bicycle sweater.

In other news, this is an old FO just because I want to show something pretty.



This is a more recent FO, sent off yesterday to my friend Jessica in San Francisco.


I think she will like it. I love it. so soft, so squishy-- and it's cotton-- you wouldn't expect it to be so squishy.

I was planning on finishing a hat tonight, but I am having some counting problems...i might just need a break from it.

here is a little detail from it, to show the colors, but not the scary counting.
