First post

So I decided to try to start a blog, and after some confusion with Blogger and Google (I didn't think I already had a Blogger account, much less five, but apparently I often start things and then completely forget about them) voila! Blog-gy goodness.

Just off the needles! I found the pattern for this by clicking through a link on the warmfuzzies blog. It's the Anthropologie inspired capelet. I have to block it still, but I'm pretty pleased with it. Looking at hers again, though, I think maybe I should have made mine longer. I used Debbie Bliss cotton angora.


And yesterday, I got mail! It was completely unexpected, so the Canada Post worker now thinks I am crazy, but who expects mail on a Sunday? At any rate, I let the postal carrier into the building, and look what I got:

Bend the Rules Sewing by Amy Karol and Simple Sewing by Lotta Jansdotter. (The other book is for my husband). I actually only expected Bend the Rules Sewing, but Stuart remembered that I had been looking at (coveting) this book on the shimandsons blog, so he ordered it as well. I'm very excited.
