Min weekend har stået på strikke prøver og fantastisk humoristisk hyggelæsning. Jeg er ved at genlæse Stephanie Pearl _McPhee's At Knit's End. Bogen rummer små sjove citater og tankespind - altsammen set ud fra en strikkegalnings synspunkt.

This weekend has been about swatching and reading.
Citat fra bogen side 123
The Secret to creativity is knowing how to hide you sources - Albert Einstein
Til det skriver Stephanie;
The secret to storing lots og yarn is expanded thinking. There is really no reason why yarn cannot occupy any space not occupied by anything else. Take a fresh look at your home, closets, cupboards, and furniture, and ask yourself, "Can I fit a ball of yarn in here?" The world is suddenly full of possibilities. The liquor cabinet? Above books on the bookshelf? The freezer?
I will think creatively before I decide that I have run out of room for yarn.
I gamle dage læste jeg også Stephanie's blog The Yarn Harlot, hver gang der kom et nyt indlæg, nu læser jeg det sporadisk, men overvejer bestemt at gøre den til en del af min blog rutine igen. Jeg tror de fleste har det som jeg. Der findes så mange gode bloggere, jeg kan ikke nå alt læse dem alle, derfor udvælger jeg nogle stykker som jeg læser fast, denne liste ændre jeg i fra tid til anden. Min liste ser du til højre på bloggen, når du går ind via computeren.

I used to read Stephanie's blog The Yarn Harlot, each time she wrote a post, now I read it from time to time. But after reading At Knit's end again, I believe it's time to follow her blog again. I finde it difficult to read all the blogs I want to read - too little time - there for I keep a list of blogs I enjoy reading in my side bar here at my blog.
Weekendes ene strikkeprøve er i den smukkeste gule farve købt hos Woolspire. I sommerferien, har jeg designet en cardigan i Bomuld og mohair fra Tante Grøn, den cardigan vil jeg strikke op i endnu en udgave - og jeg tror helt bestemt jeg lander på denne her skønne gule kombi.

This is one of my weekend swatches, a swatch for a nice yellow cardigan - Love this colour.
Har du også en svaghed for gul? Hvilken farve er det du bare må købe igen og igen?
Do you also love yellow? What colour do you end up buying again and again?
Jeg slutter af med endnu et citat fra Stephanie s. 27
You know you knit too much when....
You find yourself pondering the decision about what knitting to take to the grocery store with you, because you might have to wait in the checkout.
