And now, on to the obligatory knitty news. Yep, the new Knitty is up. Let me just say, the Hallowig is too cool for words. HOWEVER, I probably have way too much hair to make it work. Initially, I really like Skating Queen. That is, until I scrolled down to the second picture and knew it wouldn't hang right on me. I like Belle Star as a poncho, but I already have 2 ponchos in my future, so I can't see it happening (how many ponchos does a gal need?). Blaze is an amazing pattern, but I probably won't ever knit it. Leo is very fetching, but my dh is an XXL and I fear the yarn WAY over my budget and I can't see myself ever knitting him anything on size 3 needles-- it would take me YEARS. Cozy is nice, but will I knit it? I dunno, probably not. Overall, I would say this Knitty issue is really nice to look at, but I don't see anything in my future for it really. I love knitting candy, though, even if I don't end up knitting anything from it.
