Dear Amy

I have a problem. The new issue of Knitty came out, and while I usually admire many projects, this issue is different. Not just liking a few things. Liking the vast majority of things. Liking it all. Wanting to make many many of these things.

Have you seen the sweaters? There is this one and this one, very Renaissance and well named, and this one. Really, how many sweaters can a person make in a winter.

Then last night at knitting we were talking about the socks (which I had not yet delved into). I mean the HatHeel sock? Come on. That is almost killing me. And these? I mean I knit plain ordinary socks. I like plain ordinary socks. It doesn't help that I have an absolutely stunning Colinette yarn in a rich Velvet Damson shouting 'knit this sock with me' in my ear. And this one? Well, I can't bear to look again.

And then shawls and scarves? I mean really. And then this?

My covet cup runneth over, Amy. I knew exactly which yarns I have and which ones I would need to pick up for these designs, before I even read the pattern descriptions.

After seven years, fresher, stronger and better than the issue before. Its hard to know how to say thank you for the great issue. I'll keep looking but this year, I'm going to click on the adds more. Its the one thing I can do for a first rate publication.
