KNIT IT! TIE IT! WEAR IT!

SCARVES ARE A WONDERFUL FASHION ACCESSORY THIS SEASON.

After searching high and low, I found a site to help you learn a few tricks of how to tie fabulous scarves. Most of these techniques will work for knitted scarves, as well. I am still searching for an awesome video on this subject, if you know of one please, post it and share with everyone.

Here's the site - http://www.texeresilk.com/cms-scarf_tying_guide.html

Speaking of scarves, the Knit/Crochet Along is on! Search the stash, get out those patterns, and check out Scarves from the Heart for tips, patterns and inspiration.

Send pics - I'll post!

NEW YORK KNITTING STATE OF MIND

GRAB YOUR WALKING SHOES!!!
Here's an upcoming festival for you. If you're near or want to carpool with a bunch of happy knitters and hookers (of the crochet kind) to Rhinebeck New York (Duchess County) to visit the New York Sheep and Wool Festival - start planning! The event is Oct 18 & 19th. There's serious fun for everyone in your family and especially for you...so treat yourself to this event. One of my favorite vendors, BriarRose Fibers will be there, so be sure and stop by their fiberfantastic booth. And you thought I was going to say fiberlicious - but that's sooo last year! ;)

STASHBUSTER EVENT, YA'LL!!! Put your needles/ hooks together and join me for the Scarves from the Heart Knit/Crochet Along this month and share your love for knitting or crochet with people in need. Visit Blog Entry for Sept 15th for full details. Send your pics and I'll post'em! knit1fortheroad@gmail.com. HUGE HUG TO THOSE OF YOU who have emailed and shown your enthusiasm for the Knit/Crochet Alongs! I heart you and so will the person receiving your beautiful scarf.

It's never to late to KNIT - SHARE - GO!

ROCK THE KNIT/CROCHET!

A couple of new issues just out will leave you inspired and ready to Rock the Knit and Crochet!

knitsimple (Holiday 08) issue is pretty in pink with really fast, fun patterns. You will want to check out knits+that section on pages 6 and 8 for the latest gizmos for the happy knitter and hooker. There is something for everyone in this issue, including adorable sweaters, hats and bags for the kids! Great fun in this issue.

Belle Armoire Art to Wear (Sept/Oct 08) always leaves me breathless. Crocheters will be delighted and doin' the happy dance over this issue which includes an incredible interview with Susan Obrant starting on page 11 and an array of inspiring quotes regarding her process, crochet and gorgeous designs that are colorful, edgy, and fabulous!

It's back to nature in an article by Jess Nichole - Nature's Enchanted Whimsy, an Eco Chic Halter Dress design and so much more. There are also other crafts included in the issue, although I definitely consider the whole issue art.

I hope you will reach for these issues on the stand or order them online and be taken to another world of knitting, crochet, art, crafts - basically nirvana for your creative side.
