I can’t stop thinking about all the things I want to knit this fall. I’m in planning mode. Planning projects to feed my knitting soul and projects that will be knit as gifts. I’m thinking all the ideas in my head should be put to paper as a chart. (Does that take the fun out of it? Maybe. But I love comparing patterns, yarns, possible substitute yarns, writing, taking notes and swatching!) Do you plan or keep a list of projects you want to knit?
Planning ahead…and then this week getting a stack of vintage knitting magazines in the mail from a friend. First, Cable Knits.


Cables sandwiched with big wooden buttons.
Second, Fashions for Men and Boys. I was just thinking about how I’d like to knit a cardigan or sweater for my dad.



Magnified knits.
It was such a surprise to get these in the mail. So thoughtful of my non-knitter friend. And I think there are some classic designs here that would be fun to knit.
I started knitting a sock this week out of sweetgeorgia yarn.

I was using this small silk bag to hold the yarn all week. When I went to photograph my progress I pulled out the yarn and it had formed a beehive shape, very fitting since the colourway is called honey fig.
