To knit or not...

I recently got a surprise in the mail from U.K., its this Let's Knit magazine.
Thanks so much Sis!!
I still haven't knitted anything for the past few years...and there are some yarns in my stash that are wanting to be knit ;) I just had to prioritize my crochet designs - with the limited crafting time I have. Besides, I have to relearn the basics of knitting. Good thing, this mag has very good knit instructions for beginners. Then again, it would have to wait :p
There's one adorable crochet project included though, its the Dionne tunisian crochet clutch.

Oh, and this magazine includes 2 skeins of designer yarn called Cookie!
 Actually, that's what made my sister decide to buy this issue for me :)

  2. Thanks Cris!
    If nothing else, there's always the simple garter-stitch knit scarf...and the magazine includes a tea cosy, baby hat and mittens, and a cushion pattern to use with the yarns.
