So I have to say that this is the first time in my life that I have been psyched about the onset of Autumn. It's not so much about the weather as the PLETHORA of new knitting mags/books that are going to be available. I want them ALL. Being from Brisbane, a place that is blessed with wonderful weather meaning it never gets very hot (ok sometimes it gets hot) and there is only a very mild winter - it's subtropical, which means mango, banana, and papaya trees in your backyard BUT it also means no four seasons. No snow (no loss I think - beautiful to visit but not to live in), no red leaves, basically no distinct seasons. So living somewhere with four seasons and amazing array of knitting supplies makes Fall/Autumn very exciting indeed. However, I will be enjoying every second of the rest of summer going to bbqs and to the beach!!! If you wanna check out what I did on the weekend (it involved skateboarding, bmx bikeriding and fireworks), visit Frangipani - she's a good girl and put up all her photos.....unlike me!
Knitting books/mags to look forward to:
* Stitch N Bitch Nation, which should feature our very own Tokyo Stitch N Bitch!!!
* Knit Wit by Knitty's Amy Singer
* Vogue Knitting Fall 2004 I just saw that this is going to be on sale in a few days. Anyone in the US wanna do a swap??? Vogue Knitting Fall 2004 for a Japanese mag - maybe girly knits or something else. Email me if you are interested.
* Vintage Style by Rowan
* Ribbon Twist Collection by Rowan
* Big just got bigger by Rowan
* and of course all of the Japanese mags that will no doubt be released - no previews yet though.
