This month's limited edition color reminds me of the African Violets that my
grandparents grew indoors. Back in Springfield, Virginia, my grandmother and grandfather
had the most amazing outdoor garden... close to an acre of land devoted to cucumbers, peanuts, lettuce, beans and more. I'll
never forget the summers I spent as a child there - breaking beans, canning tomatoes, and playing pinochle in the basement!
Not only did they have the most amazing outdoor garden, but also an incredible indoor one. This is where
they grew plants like the African Violets. They were always so beautiful - and I
never could get over the fact that they flourished so well inside (and I was always fascinated by the
purple lightbulbs). Well, my grandmother passed away a number of years ago, but this particular grandpa
is still alive and kicking (now in Pennsylvania) - and I even saw a few African Violets in his windowsill
the last time i visited. This month's for you, grandpa. Thanks for the great memories (and for teaching me that
milk always tastes better with 2 ice cubes)! :)

If you love this yarn as much as we do, you won't be disappointed by these prices... Personally, I like to knit with
bigger needles, so am thinking of adding some of the

Interweave Summer 09
|
Speaking of fresh ideas, have you had a chance to browse the latest issue of Interweave Knits? I finally took a few minutes last night and sat down with my issue - and was
overjoyed to see an article on how to create jogless stripes in the round. Yay! That's the biggest issue i have
with striping things (hats, mittens, socks)... and i was so excited to read a solution!! thanks, interweave :)
|
Sprout
|
If you get a chance, pick up a hank of Classic Elite's new summer yarn, Sprout. It's 100% Organic Cotton
that knits up quickly (and softly) on a US 10 needle. I love it (of course, i love knitting on bigger needles)!
If you're looking for Sprout project ideas, you'll find plenty in their new book Johns Bay.
