KAL and other exciting things...

The flu and life have had the best of me for the last few days, but I'm back up and going and so excited about a couple of things.

First, a wonderful group on Ravelry.com, called Knitting and Tea and Cookies, is starting a knit-along in February.  We are actually making a hat designed by the group's leader, Mary Keenan.  I've already made a couple of her designs and they are great.  So, I went out today and purchased yarn to make the hat, a scarf, and convertible mittens.  The yarn is Noro Silk and is really beautiful.

The second bit of excitement was waiting on my porch when I returned home.  It's a new book by Kathleen Taylor called Fearless Fair Isle Knitting.  I am so excited to look through it, but really terrified to make most of the projects!

Isn't it beautiful!  I'm off to read and plan.
