WANT

Filed under: knitting — moiraeknittoo @ 5:16 PM

The Bohus kits at the American Swedish Institute website are live. I wish I had the money to go see this exhibit, especially the opening with Solveig and Susanna and all the other fabulous people. And knitters.

I REALLY wish I had the money to get one of the kits. I want them all. If I had to pick only one for knitting pleasure? Man that’s tough. Probably one of the Gothic Window variants, or Green Mist.

My fingers are literally itching for one of these. *resolutely closes browser tab*

In less exciting news, I finished my first book of the 52. is my man Mike Lowell’s autobiography post the World Series MVP award of 2007. I can’t believe I fell down the baseball well far enough to actually read a sports autobiography, but I love me some Lowell. It was a really easy read, and a lovely glimpse into the mind of a guy who just wants to be the best he can be at his job. That he happens to be a baseball player? Well, we all have our trials in life. I loved the little glimpses of his fellow team members (Pedroia especially), and enjoyed reading his story. I’d recommend it to any Sox fan who hasn’t picked it up yet.

OK, I have to get up and walk away from the computer so I don’t weep over one of those kits that I can’t afford. I have a whole slew of stashdown projects I need to get through before I can even think about starting such a huge project on teeny needles, including about two dozen pair of socks and a dozen or so hats. I have plenty of knitting to do. I just…really want one of those. I’d even make one for free if someone were to buy me the kit, I think. The yarn, especially the angora blends, are just so amazing and cloudlike in your hands that knitting with them is truly a pleasure.

Walking. Away. Walk. Away…walk….away……

  1. When I get a job I may need to get that book. I’m not a fan of kits but love the patterning.

    How are you doing?

  2. Holy Crap that is a lot of money. I am not even thinking about it.

    I do have the book, it is an interesting read (52) and contains a few patterns.
