1) Three Irish Girls, my favorite indie dyer, recently released their Spring Colors with a Lookbook, a fantastic compilation of all twenty colors – the photography is just stunning! You should definitely check it out. This yarn shop will be making an appearance at the Cloverhill Yarn Shop booth at Maryland Sheep & Wool, a fantastic yarn fair that I have never been able to go to. Some day I will make it though!
2) I am working on several WIPs but the most exciting is a pair of fingerless mitts with yarn that a friend brought back from a farm – it was spun and dyed by the farm owner, who keeps sheep. I’m making up a cable to go on the mitts and it’s a bit of a challenge but I am excited for the final outcome. Here’s a teaser (that has since been ripped out):
3) I am thinking about combining blogs, putting both knitting related content and book reviews on this blog. If there are any readers left out there, what do you think?

I’m still reading–haven’t much of an opinion on whether or not you combine the two though… :-)

I say combine them! I had 4 going at once last year because I was sure that whoever wanted to read about my photography wasn’t interested in my knitting, but a knitting blog wasn’t the place to put a personal rant, blah blah blah. Needless to say, rather than having 4 going at once successfully, I had 4 puttering ones that all died off and then I was left with none. I’m starting up a new one this week or next, and it’s the only one I’m doing. Anyone who doesn’t like a post can come back tomorrow for a new one about the subject they like. :-)
