Spring is in the air. This time of year the Chicago yarn shops have their end of season sales. I couldn't resist going to Knitting Workshop yesterday for their moving sale. One of the books I purchased was the new Cornelia Tuttle Hamilton, Wanderlust. It has a few cute vests, and an interesting, but mostly impractical, dog sweater. I'm going to make this vest, only without those hip flangy things. I have the stash for it. Somewhere. I'm loving seed stitch lately, and I think the shape would be flattering.
One of the other splurges was some Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Super Chunky to make the sweater on the cover of Veronik Avery's book, that's in my Ravelry queue. Even at 35% off, that stuff is no bargain. Perhaps it's why I've never knit with any, except for a random baby thing.
There's another sale at Arcadia right now. Maybe tomorrow.
