Warming Up (Midwest)


We finally caved and turned on the heat in our house. It's so nice to have warm feet again. Though, I have to say having the heat off was good for my Xmas knitting productivity (see above).

Regarding knitting, Joey and I spent part of our Monday date night at the bookstore (yes, you can call us nerds) where I leafed through some new knitting books. I was really intrigued by some of the projects in Luxury One-Skein Wonders. A small project with a fancy schmancy yarn might be what I need right now. I must remember the title (or remember that I don't have to if I remember to come back to this post) and look for it at the library. Also, I've been meaning to link to this knitting pattern. These are super cute and would make quick, fun and thoughtful Xmas gifts. They are sort of like these. Don't you think?

On the letterpress front, I've decided to run a monthly shop promotion over at my shop. I'm going to feature a card or card set each month, and list it at wholesale price. First up for November will be a 4 pack of Scribble Bird cards for 8 bucks. I have a smallish inventory of these left and figured why not try to liquidate them.



I took a new photo so I'm ready to list them on November 1.

Pretty photos.

I am glad you caved with the heat. We have had really cold mornings forcing us to cave to the heat too. Our afternoons are still really warm though. It is hard to figure out how to dress with 40 degree variations every day.

I love your wash cloths. I have knit several of the seed stitch ones, and haven't done the one with the seed boarder. Maybe I will knit that next.
