The Knitter's Book of Yarn, by Clara Parkes

Today I received this wonderful book I ordered from amazon, by the author of KnitersReview.com. I've had a quick read of some of the chapters and I am very pleased with it.
If you are into yarn as I am, this book is for you, it goes into great detail about different types of yarn, fibre content, etc. All the things you would expect from a book titled like this one, but it also has patterns for the different types of yarn (single ply, 2ply, 3ply, etc).
If you would like a preview, you can read about it in more detail in KnittersReview.com

Ravelry!!!! what can I say, its absolutely wonderful and I am spending way too much time there, but its just so perfect for yarn and knitting lovers! if you don't know what it is, google it. It'll be worth your time.

I've started the quick knit jacket in Jo Sharps Knit, issue 3. I am using Mecha Lisa by Wool Connections so I don't need to use two strands together as the pattern calls for, it's looking very nice.

I am reading a few books, Knitting nature and knit one, felt two. It's quite amazing to see the creativity some people have, very inspiring.

Back again, my son's jumper is finally finished, I will have to rework some details in the pattern before publishing it, but all in all, its really nice.

The pattern and yarn are available from

www.woolconnection.com.au

I am very temped to start a jacket from Jo Sharp's Knit 3 book, it looks really easy and I have the perfect yarn for it.

The weather in Sydney, Australia, is getting quite warm now, but that will not deter me!

My son Richard keeps telling me, where is my milk!!! so I guess I have to go!
