new books
i'm treating myself to two new knitting books. one of them has a pattern for a sweater that can be worn right-side-up and upside-down! this amazes me.
i'm a little worried about how much the yarn will cost to make the sweater, cuz it looks like the sweater will cost about $300 for the yarn alone; i think i'll have to rekindle my relationship with elann to get an inexpensive alternative...
the other one is cuz i think it'll look cool to play with vertical color striping and thick-knits.
