There's a New Knitting Book

I just got in Cast On, Bet's Off  - a new knitting mystery by Jack Olesker.  He and his wife own a yarn shop and this is their first book in a series they are planning.  It will not be available in bookstores - they are marketing only to yarn shops at this point.  I am taking one to read and there are more.  There is also the possibility of getting a group together to listen to the audio version so let me know if you are interested in that.  Apparently the weapon of choice was a set of #19 Addi turbos...

While we are on the subject of knitting literature .... if you didn't know already - Julia Roberts is doing the movie version of Friday Night Knitting Club and it should be out early this summer - June 6th I think. 

I put a few new pictures in the galleries.  Darlene finished her latest sweater, beautiful and warm out of Lopi.

I wove on the knitter's loom with some yarn I had dyed using plants and such out of my yard.  There are lots of different colors in the weaving and I just love it.  The pic is in recent projects. The weaving is here at the shop for a few days along with my dye book - where I keep a record of all the fibers I have dyed, mostly with lichens, tree bark, leaves and roots.....you just never know what color something will give you.  Anyone up for a natural dyes class this summer?
