Knitting Porn

Nothing exciting has happened in the past couple of days, so in lieu of something interesting you get this post. My mother in law bought me a subscription to Interweave Knitting magazine for Christmas, and my first issue arrived yesterday. I loved looking at all the pictures and dreaming of all the things I might knit. I still need to read the articles though. Jeramy called it my knitting porn.

My favorite pattern was the Henley Perfected. It has such a nice mixture of casual and girlishness.

Ha! Knitting porn- I love it!

It's a cute sweater- I admire your ambition & skill. Okay- I am sooo jealous of your skill- I don't know if I could ever get the hang of knitting.

I got my first issue yesterday too! My 2 favorite patterns are the Henley and the socks. I love Chrissy's sock patterns, they're so much fun to knit!

OOOhhh. Knitting patterns!

Based on your pictures, that would be so pretty on you in a claret red.

I love that sweater...seriously, can you knit things like that? I know that is a stupid question, but hey I'm pretty much a knitting virgin ;-)Maybe this is something I should look into....

btw, I wonder what weird google hits (if you allow it) you will get with knitting porn?

Katie, well I can't knit like that yet so I probably won't start on that pattern too soon. But I'd like to knit my first sweater someday soon. In the meantime, I might do the socks Shelby mentioned, because I really liked those too.

LOL... Knitting porn.

Is that like the Food Network being food porn? At least at our house it is.

Just wondering if you'd tested yet! Let us know!!

Pretty! I don't know if I can ever get the hang of more than scarves and the occasional hat or wrap.

Beautiful sweater! I have no knowledge of anything related to knitting, so even a scarf can really impress me!!
