Having a few fangirl moments...

First and foremost, the most fantastic, Stephanie Pearl-McPhee (aka Yarn Harlot) is proving her wonderfulness again, so a signal boost is in order to help her team to their goal.

The next is a chair I hope to coax Darling Husband into making for me,  (furniture building would put a serious dent in my available knitting time).  I'm already thinking about themed fabrics for the cushions for different genres of books, providing he can be convinced to make more than one chair.

The book, Geek Knits came out last week! I was immediately smitten with the patterns! I have Toni Carr's Knits for Nerds book, so of course I need this latest publication in my greedy little hands.

With my love of the previously mentioned knitting books, you can imagine my glee when I pulled up Knitty's First Fall 2015!  I may have been seen by at least one of my teenagers, bouncing up and down with joy in the living room.  I was promptly laughed at.  I continued to bounce and giggle slightly maniacally.  
Maniacal laughter prompts a book/author recommendation.   Please Don't Tell My Parents I'm a Supervillain by Richard Roberts is a really fun read! The sequel, Please Don't Tell My Parents I Blew Up the Moon has also been quite enjoyable so far. 

At some point, (hopefully soon) I will finish more knitting projects...I need to free up the needles!

Started a new blog

  Oooh Shiny! is now on WordPress.  There isn't much there yet, but I will work on that.
