However, I took my annual trip out west and decided to spend an extra day in San Francisco with a great friend. (That's Noreen!)
We did a bunch of fun stuff which of course included a trip to ImagiKnit. Allison couldn't be nicer... oh, how I love knitters.
Of course, a bazillion photos where taken of the city and the bridge. (And everything in between.)
I mentioned I would be talking about this fantastic book. Unfortunately, since I am en-route, I have no other photos than this to show you. (Sorry!) I can tell you that there are a bunch of cute cowls in this book. (Forty to be exact.) They range from quick and easy on chunky yarns to a little more advanced with intricate designs on finer yarns. Some are knit in the round, some back and forth. Lace, cables, striped. Really, a cowl for every cowl lover. If you are interested in receiving a copy please leave me a comment between now and September 27th at 12 p.m. EST and I will have the random generator draw a name.
Happy Weekend!

What a great book, it would make the perfect addition to any knitter's library, and I'd happen to think it would look right at home in mine.
Ha! There you are, at Crissy Field. I hope you enjoyed it here in San Francisco. ImagiKnit has a pretty amazing collection. Also...I just learned that ArtFibers is opening back up, here in the city. I've missed them and I'm thrilled. They might even be open now. You didn't get there before me, did you?
I'm ALL about Cowls! I haven't seen that book yet...! Hope to win. What a nice cheer up that would be (I'm on modified activity until I give birth - at least only about 10 more weeks to go.. but boy are they going slowly!)
Thanks! Have a great weekend.

Trying to knit a caplet in the round, and keep knitting it twisted. My knitting group keeps telling me I am advanced beyond my ability to mobius "sp?". Will cowls work like that? Thanks for the chance at this book and possibly a new adventure.
