On Sunday I went to the Camberwell market, and afterwards I popped into a few newsagents to see if I could find the new Interweave Crochet or the Interweave Knits Holiday Gifts. I have to admit, I have no idea when they’re supposed to hit Aussie stores, so I wasn’t overly bothered when I didn’t find either – not even at Borders. But I did find the Vogue Knitting International 25 year anniversary issue.

I’d almost decided not to buy the anniversary Vogue, because I’d read somewhere that there were no patterns in it. But there are patterns. Lots of patterns. Ironically, while I like quite a few, I’m not in a frenzy of must-knit-now over any of them. Instead I’m loving the articles. Oh, the articles. They are good reading.

There were three more copies there, if anyone’s interested. It’s the newsagent opposite and a little uphill of Borders.

In the meantime, still working away on the Diagonal Stitch Cardigan, William Street and Quick & Dirty socks, and trying to ignore the call of quirky hats, crochet, and the new wider version of the Ashford Knitters Loom. It’s already too warm for hats, crochet can wait until I have a few less wips, and if I buy another loom, I’d like to have lessons, and perhaps buy a table loom instead.
