A Library Adventure

Last weekend while looking through Knits from a Painter's Palette I fell in love with the Daydreams Stroller Blanket (ravelry link). Not that I know many babies, but I just really really want to knit it. Maybe for me. Plus, I have that Koigu that I was using for Charlotte's Web...

Who am I kidding? I'm never going to finish it and I'm certainly never going to wear it, so small lap-sized blanket it is! Notice that there is only one project that's finished on ravelry... I'm thinking this is maybe not the greatest omen, but she doesn't have anything bad to say about it...

Hello re-purposed Koigu!



In any case, it is pretty much the only thing from that book that I'd have any desire to knit, save the Charlotte's Web - which I apparently don't have any desire to knit, but that's another story - which I already have the single pattern for. So off to the library with me!

The actual trip to the library was made a bit more complicated by the fact that there are two commencement-like events, a Red Sox game, and a Celtics game tonight. After I finally arrived at the library I had to attempt to find the book, which took me over an hour. See, it wasn't in the normal knitting section like the call number would suggest - then I went down to the "New Nonfiction" section and couldn't find it there either and then I finally discovered that it was out on a table in a pretty little display of crafty books. Darn you BPL! But my trip was ultimately successful and now I can knit the Koigu blanket, just as soon as I finish....

Yeah, we'll see.
