Knitty

Lots of things to write about, but the new Knitty has distracted me, of course. Thank god it only comes out four times a year.

I am really liking the following:*

• Argosy-especially in the Noro
• Monkey--in a plain yarn so you can see the pretty pattern. What's the deal with varigated yarn & complicated lace patterns?
• Twinkletoes--my favorite in this issue

*Grammar tip of the day: Did you know that when you use a colon, what comes before it should read as a complete sentence?

• Incorrect: For the picnic I will bring: potato salad, chips, and soda.
• Correct: I will bring the following to the picnic: anchovy butter, botulism cultures, and my syphalitic mentor, Roger.

See how easy it is? Once you memorize that simple rule, so many of your life's problems will be solved.
