This is my very first blog post, ever. how exciting. This blog is also my first web project in a long, long time. Even more exciting. And this blog is going to be about my new obsession - knitting. I am really excited. can you tell?

On the topic of excitement I am officially growing a little stash of my very own. I got goodies in the post today, two back issues of interweave knits and yummy yarn for an Isabelle sized cardy.

This forms my infant stash, this and the lovely redness I purchased during a visit to the dentist on the weekend (no really, we honestly did drive all that way to get to the dentist, it wasn’t the lure of lovely yarn or the amazing gourmet deli at all). Of course now that we KNOW about the fantastic bread at the afore-mentioned amazing deli across the road from the yarn store that turned out to be worth the LONG drive we won’t be waiting for another dentist appointment to make a return visit. So back to that redness:

This is destined to become the jacket on the front cover of Phildar Layette 5. A gift for a cousin’s 2nd babe, due this christmas.
