Mass Hysteria

I've been joining things!

I joined this, to get me out of the safety of knitting lace over and over.




And this.



(A risk, since the MS3 went from such a promising start to such a grotesque ending - should have been called quasimodo's dream or even the ugly duckling rather than swan lake)


And this. Which ended up probably not being my sort of group.


I'd like to join this, but I'd be merely a spectator. I've been enjoying discovering the lovely lace patterns of Herbert Niebling - especially the HYRNA whatsername. It's incredible how, because of him, old copies of Burda have been going on ebay for around a hundred USD. I like this group, although it's unlikely that I'll ever be lucky enough to see one of his patterns in the flesh. That is, unless they re-print them. Which they're trying to make happen here.

In addition to joining things, I've been buying things.

I bought the Morning Glory Wrap pattern.

And the new sweaterbabe pattern for a cable and lace kimono (like I'll ever knit that!)

I also made the grave mistake of clicking a link I found on the new autumn knitty (best one for a while I think) - and I found this.

Don't look at the price. But a lace club, like the Rocking Socks Club - I just don't think I can resist!

I really must update those sidebars soon.
