I’m trying to blog more, I really am. I even made a list of possible topics and categories for days of the weeks for inspiration and so I can stay on task. But life disagrees. Life and deadline knitting and all the other things have been crazy busy but I’m hanging in there!
Thursday’s blog topic is OPP – Other People’s Patterns. I know, I know, it’s a stupid play on words, but it never ceases to amuse me. I am at heart a 12 year old boy. Also I live with all menfolk (even the dog!!!) so my sense of humor is definitely skewed!

I have a sock pattern out in the new Knitscene Accessories – the Sabrina Socks.

And while perusing the online preview I realized there were a ton of cute things in the issue that I liked. So I present to you the very first blog post in the OPP category – and here are some of my favorites!

Megi Burci has a whole collection of awesome shawls in this issue – and my favorite is the Sarcasm Shawl.

The Grace Clutch by Julie Grantz LeFrancois is nothing short of fabulous. And I love the tattoos on the model!

And finally the Wallis Shawl by Ágnes Kutas-Keresztes. Such a lovely combination of lace patterns.

And if you want a sneak peek of my book patterns, the Mayella Shawl from Warm Days, Cool Knits is also excerpted in this new issue of Accessories – it’s a double me issue!
