They have done it again.. no not another book, but another bit of fun!
Kay and Ann are funny gals and if you haven’t seen their latest little piece of work well here it is:
But I digress! This IS Bookish Thursday after all! Mason-Dixon Knitting: The Curious Knitter’s Guide their original book has just been released in paperback! This makes this great fun book just a little more affordable and portable! At least it won’t weigh your knitting bag down as much!
I love the fun approach Ann and Kay have to their craft, it is contagious. The patterns and stories in this book are delightful and fun! There are some great easy gift patterns in there that would suit just about any occasion! In fact after I received the book in the mail I went right away to cast on a log cabin blanket! I need a baby boy gift Pronto and a receiving blanket size log cabin blanket is definitely doable!
If you haven’t picked up this book yet you might want to grab a copy! I think you will love it too!

Oh well. January was a flash of wasted time it seems! Punctuated by a couple weeks of serious back pain, finding a puppy and getting back to school work after our first ever complete two week long Christmas break free and clear!!
Oh and snow. But here in Northeast Ohio.. that’s a given.
February… looking forward to getting the puppy home, getting some projects done and other things!
But mostly I want to try to get back to blogging so look out!! Here I come!
I had the crazy idea of 52 projects in 52 weeks small projects to get me going and I might just start it!! Might be a month later than I expected but hey that’s ok.. there are still 52 weeks ahead of me right?!
When I went to the Rhinebeck Sheep and Wool Festival a couple years back I had a little conversation with Stephanie Pearl McPhee about my love hate relationship with wool. I liked the way it knit up but I often was bothered by the itchyness! she said simply that I hadn’t used the right wool and that I needed to try some different varieties!
I did and I found out that she was right! Merino was one of the wools that I tried and loved.. and the Morehouse Merino farms yarns are a great!!
It’s a great book with some cute patterns! I mean how can a mom of boys not be drawn to this:
Luckily my middle son LOVES sweaters! So I really need to knit him up one of these!!
All the patterns in this book just scream out warmth and comfort and home! All the things you would expect and more. They have something for everyone.. even the family cat!! So if you are looking for some great patterns to work with some GREAT wool.. this book is for you!
came out in Paperback!! I hadn’t seen it before so I jumped at the chance when offered a copy!
