Midwest Moonlight
Wow! The fall colors this year are really spectacular. I can't recall ever seeing a light blue tweed on the dogwood before.
Slowly but surely, I am making progress on Midwest Moonlight (from Scarf Style). I just joined the third ball (out of four) of yarn -- so, I guess I'm half done! This is a scarf for me, so I'm not in any big rush... although every time we have a chilly day I am motivated to knit on it when I get home from work.
I think I have raved about Scarf Style before, but it is a really great book. I would knit and/or wear almost everything in it, which is very unusual for me.
A few weeks ago, I asked if anyone had any knitting book recommendations for me. I ended up buying Knitting on the Road by Nancy Bush, mostly because I know people love her designs and it was the right price to get me to free shipping on KnitPicks. (My husband did not think this was adequate justification for buying more knitting stuff, but oh well.)
I haven't started anything out of it, but it looks like a really good book. And I do love to knit in the car, so the design (sprial bound so it lays flat) is really nice.

The scarf is coming along beautifully... I love Scarf Style too! My ruffles is coming along slowly and I'm dying to finish it so I can start on Moonlight and a few others.

I too like Scarf Style and I recently made the Conwy socks from Knitting on the Road. Who needs any more justification than free shipping? Not me!

Lovely scarf! I have had Scarf Style on my wishlist for ages--I have looked through it many times but have never officially bought it :)
Just found your blog and wanted to say hi!
