this past saturday, i found The Good Housekeeping Illustrated Book of Needlecrafts by Cecilia K. Toth (Editor). it has some really good pictures. i guess i'm a visual learner as well. :)
on monday, i went to beverly's..bought bamboo needles sz 8 U.S. ...(the slippage from my aluminum needles was driving me crazy) and circular needles 8 U.S. 29" as well as some red heart acrylic 4-ply worsted in plum to make a hat for my niece. i would like to try the circular needles on the hat and see what the difference makes. and perhaps, i might get dps as well. who knows.
current scarf project: going along nicely, about 5 more inches to go. lol garter stitch. martha stewart living has an article on how to knit with really nice pictures and patterns as well. i picked the feb '03 issue up right away. ^^ call me a conformist. :P here is the online link: How to Knit. enjoy!
future shopping list:
stitch holder
crochet hook
any chunky yarn, would be nice
big needles
