I accidentally stumbled upon Knitty's latest edition this evening when I went to the site to check the pattern for a skirt I'm ever-so-slowly working on. (The goal was to have it finished by the beginning of winter... maybe I'll have it done by the end instead.) There are so many great projects in this issue I want to try--the cutely brimmed Quest hat, the cable-infested Palisander scarf (which would be one of those projects I'd begin in the hope of finishing it in time to give to my future child when she turns 21--I mean really, it's a foot wide and worked on #4 needles), the Jacqueline sweater (if Michael's still has Thick & Quick on sale this week, I'm stocking up to do this one--I *adore* working with bulky yarn and have been looking for a cute, non-boxy sweater that would allow it), the Shelburne mittens I wish I'd seen before knitting my mismatchers last week, and... (drumroll)... my next Fair Isle project, the Undergrowth cap. I've only attempted colorwork a couple of times, and those have been experimental learning opportunities (putting it kindly).
*Sigh.* Maybe some of these projects can be stash-busters, because I definitely don't need to buy any more yarn--there's nowhere to put it!
