Aren't these fab! They were knit by Stacey in our Cosmopolitan colorway. She totally rocked these socks!

Just a little sneak peek at what's headed for pure knits. Please check it out next Tuesday.

And finally, another book for the pile! I think this makes for three new craft books in about a week, probably a record for me. I ordered Denyse Schmidt Quilts from Barnes & Noble and rushed to pick it up as soon as they called. There's definitely some projects in it that I can't wait to make and then there's some that I'm not too sure about. I love the simplicity of the quilts and how modern they look, but I'm kind of itching to work on a classic log cabin type pattern. The slippers are first on my to-try list and if all goes well then everyone's getting a pair for Christmas!

Have a great weekend!

no black thumbs around here!

In honor of Eye Candy Friday...

In early spring we planted a bunch of bulbs that we got from Costco. It was a total crapshoot but most them of them have actually started flowering!

This sucker is huge! The plant itself is atleast 3 feet tall and the flowers are no less than 8 inches in diameter. The rest of the dahlias aren't even half its size, so I think someone may need a drug test...

Happy Friday!
