Lately I haven't been wanting to shop for yarn like crazy, so my knitting budget for this month looks a lot more healthy. So I decided to try and find the autumn 2007 issue of Interweave Knits before it was too late and ended up buying it from a lovely lady on ravelry at a very reasonable price, which is great, given that others have apparently spent a fortune on ebay on used copies. Originally I wanted it for the minimalist cardigan, but now I really like the look of the placed cable aran. It would be the perfect weekend pullover for next autumn. Whenever I get an actual issue of IK I always like different patterns than the ones I like looking at their web site or ravelry. It is just different seeing the large glossy printed pictures.
I also bought Knitting on the Road by Nancy Bush, because someone was selling a damaged copy on Amazon at a reduced price. The damage turned out to be minimal both to the book (dent on the cover) and my budget. And I love, love, love the patterns.
I promise I will post about knitting and not shopping soon.
