The 500th Comment Award goes to Cordelia! I wasn't even paying attention to realize that the 500th was coming up. I really can't believe that in little over a year this blog has collected 500 comments!
Moving on... my issue of Interweave Knits arrived today. I gotta say I still don't like the new format. I get about halfway into the pattern pictures before realizing that they are the actual patterns and not just advertisements. While most of the patterns are very pretty, there was nothing that jumped out and screamed "knit me, knit me!!" However, I did see two appealing ads...
I am in love with these gator scarves. Even though it is in the magazine ad, I can't find it on Morehouse Merino's website. I can find the dragon scarf, but no gators. I want to make a gator scarf, or 12!!!
I'm curious as to the meaning of this Lorna's Laces ad...
---is it that buying Lorna's Laces is smart?
or
---is it that that particular colorway is called Brains!?!?
Because if it is the latter, I would definitely buy it.
In actual knitting news...
The summer shrug (that was the summertime tunic) is now the summertime cardi. The sleeves are done (I like the little cap sleeves), and I love the ribbon holding it closed. Now to use the remaining 1 3/4 balls to length it and viola a FO!
And lastly...
I bought yellow shoes!!
Yellow yarn a few weekends ago, now yellow shoes... I don't know where this yellow fetish is coming from.

Yellow is a summery colour. It's summer. Mystery solved :)

I once commented you a long time ago. Happy 500th
I have two questions for you, where can I find the pattern for Nothing but a T shirt- you made a mets one awhile ago?
AND do you have the pattern for the shrug you just did and what kind of yarn was it made with?
Love it! I guess that was three questions :)
Happy Friday

Hee. 500th comment.
I never win anything. Now I have!
The ribbon is great. What a great way to close the cardigan.
Those are Very Yellow Shoes. What are you going to wear them with???

I want a knitted brain.
I liked a few things out of IK, but I haven't had that "must-cast-on-now" feeling either. It seemed like a great issue after seeing the latest VK though.
Cute cardigan. It will look great with your new shoes!
