I had a lovely knit-geeky afternoon yesterday. After I got off work I went on a knitting media hunt. Now that I know there are actually good knitting magazines out there, I had to go find them ;)

I picked up a copy of Interweave and Vogue and then couldn't resist a really neat little book on finishing techniques. I ordered a copy of the big Vogue knitting book a while back, but it's out of stock and on order so I got the finishing book to tide me over. :)

After my shopping expedition I met Joy at Elliott Bay for some coffee and knitting. (She's virtuously working on a crocheted crazy quilt to use up her mom's stash of yarn before she lets herself buy any more new yarn) I got another hour or two in on the shapely tank. I'm in the middle of the back decreases after the short rows. It's still going pretty smoothly (knock on wood!)

It's a good thing I knit pretty quickly, because my brain has already turned to the design of mom's cardigan vest. I'm going to get some rit dye this weekend and see what I can do with the naturalle I got from elann. I'm thinking of a turquoise-sea foam green color way.
