new mag & all things knitting

rowans new magazine is out. full of wonderful patterns for the cold fall and winter nights… not so here in san antonio but wonderful just the same. a nice addition to the rowan yarn collection featured in this book is cocoon. they colors cover all the shades that i crave.. muted greys, cream, browns and greens.

how wonderful would it be to knit these socks! they are on my want but not practical list. my favorite practical pattern is this sweater.

ahhh but i am knee deep into two baby projects that need to be finished. i honestly forgot how much i enjoy holding the needles and working my way through a pattern. i get the feeling that the weather will turn fall soon. i hope this year we have the opportunity to see the fall leaves in hill country~ but at least the drive is an excuse to knit on the road.
