CrafTBQ

Current projects are doing more work on the scarf and getting ready to swatch something for a friend (*waves hi to my best enabler*). In the meanwhile I post links of note, interest, and general funitude. I figure this works better than posting the boring links that even I don’t care about.

First up, I point towards the Village Knittiot again as she posts links to different ways of looking at our consumption as part of her Summer of Knitting Naturally. I’m particularly interested in The Omnivore’s Dilemna as I find food culture to be utterly fascinating and the idea of tracking four different meals is a creative way to approach our current eating system. I mention it here both to remind myself to read it, and to point it out to friends who might share similar interests.

Next up, and along the lines of a completely different for your now for something needs, CrazyAuntPurl posts a review, with pictures, of Sexy Little Knits which has a title that’s fairly self-explanatory. (She also talks about loving to look at patterns even if she doesn’t make them, which goes far to comfort my guilt issues about doing the same.)

SLK reminds me of SKC which is the Sexy Knitters Club which I may try to join at some point. Possibly in the near future if they pick a project that I’ve been hoping to do already. I notice a few of their nominated patterns are ones I’ve had my eye on, so I’ll have to keep watching.

I’d post a link to my LYS but in spite of them swearing that they’ll do so, they have not yet updated their website since the Carter administration. Which is amazing when you consider that the store itself only opened a few years ago. The good news is that they’ve got new classes, and I’m sorely tempted to take some if they fit into my schedule. The bad news is that they’re moving to summer hours, which cuts down on my ability to scoot over there after work on Wednesdays. (Granted this might be good news for my wallet, but still.)
