There’s no zealot quite like the newly converted. And I am a relatively new convert to the absorbing world of knitting. Now I have about three separate knitting projects lying around in various corners of the apartment. I sneak in a few rows while my son is lost among his trains and trucks. I neglect to pick up snippets of yarn coiled here and there on the sofa, the floor. I count my birthday gift of vintage knitting patterns as one of my favorites.
So, you know I got all kinds of excited to pick up a copy of the newest Slave to the Needles (issue #3). There’s an extensive series of interviews with crafty indie musicians, the requisite Vegan recipe, a couple of skill explanations, comics and enough patterns to keep you busy until the next issue arrives. I will confess that it was a specific barn bonnet pattern that sold me on this issue. Will this bonnet elicit compliments of cuteness or will I be mistaken for a Mennonite? My only gripe with this issue is that I would have loved to have had a little key to some of the more esoteric abbreviations used in the patterns.
