• Purl:
    1. To knit with a reverse stitch. 2. Thread made of twisted gold or silver wire. 3. To flow with a curling or rippling motion as a shallow stream does over stones.

This could become a habit:

Rycspring2007

Today, the mail brought these two new RYC books as well as the Spring 2007 Rowan.  Sitting down with a cup of espresso and a half an hour of knitting dreams is pure heaven.

There are several very pretty sweaters in this spring's Rowan book and I am sorely tempted.  I love sitting and dreaming of the sweaters I could knit, perhaps even more than I enjoy knitting the sweaters I do knit.  After all, I can knit far more sweaters in my dreams.  As to correlating my dream sweaters to my actual finished projects, well, let's just say that I have never been particularly good at that.

I've also noticed that all my dream sweaters have perfect gauge, excellent fit, nice drape, clean finished edges, and I'm twenty pounds lighter besides.
