New Location for swampqueen

Starting the end of the month, I will be relocating to New Braunfels, Texas to become the director of the library there. I am really excited about this great opportunity but will not be able to be in Austin as much as before. I am hoping that I will have more time for knitting, since I will probably be living alone down there during the week, but you never know. Job responsibilities might get in the way of knitting. :)

Oh, Noro!

How do I love Noro yarn - let me count the ways

Kureyon
Silk Garden
Silk Garden Lite
Taiyo
Big Kureyon
Cash Iroha
and now
Noro Sock and
sooooooon -
Noro Silk Garden Sock - still mostly a rumor, but I actually saw three skeins Saturday.

What a trip!
Can't wait to figure out something to make from this beauty.

New Blog for me!

This blog will be a way for me - librarian and knitter - to share the really cool resources I find with my knitting friends. As a working mom and knitter, there is never enough time for everything, so I am hoping to share some of my fun discoveries with all of you!

The find of the day today - The Daily Knitter!

They find a new pattern by combing the websites of lots of different suppliers of free patterns, and post a new one each day - Fabulous!

I just found a sweatshirt pattern for that pesky Lion Suede that I didn't know what to do with - check it out -
