thanksknitting

A list of knitty things I am thankful for.

  • The next project.
  • Circular needles,
  • a case to keep them in,
  • and Elizabeth Zimmerman, who taught us (among other things) how to use 'em.
  • Self-striping yarn (like the Kureyon in the hat I'm working on).
  • Amazon.com's wish lists for helping me dream my dreamy little dreams.
  • All things Phildar
  • and fabulous frenchy friends who live near Phildar shops (you know who you are!).
  • Chibi's
  • My friend Julia for teaching me how to knit
  • and my boys for looking so good in whatever I knit for them.
  • Pottery Barn for sending their sheets in bags that are just perfect for knitting projects.
  • Norway, for all of its amazing designers who inspire me to do fair-isle knitting (my first Dale so far).
  • Knitty, of course
  • and all you awesome knitbloggers out there!

Hi Alison - I just love looking at your blog - you're such a talented knitter!
I especially like that self-striping hat - what kind of yarn is that? Love the idea of stripes, hate to think of all those ends.
Happy thanksgiving!

Hi there! The self-striping yarn I'm using is called Kureyon from Noro. You can check it out online here. The colors are beautiful and no ends to weave in.

Happy Thanksgiving Alison. I also just love my little Chibi for some strange reason.

Lovely list. I use a plain tapestry needle. I will have to check out Chibi's.

Happy Thanksgiving, Alison! I loved your thanksknitting list and looking at your photos, especially the one of the adorable pumpkins. (And even if your list made me yearn for Chibi's and a case for my circs!)
