Alyrenee's Copious Spare Time

Somehow..it seems that the new Winter Knitty 2011 managed to creep up without my notice for almost a week!  Clever girl.  This weekend I need to plan out my travel knitting projects: print up patterns, organize needles, ball up my yarn....it will be so much fun.  I still have not settled on what I will work on for the week...possibly socks.  Maybe a shawl.  I was hoping to find the Jane Austen Knits Magazine by now but alas...no luck yet.  Grumble.  So maybe one of these will make it into the queue... Skyisle is yummy!  I love fitted fairisle cardys!  Norah Gaughan has a genius (*surprise to no one) cardigan called Vale .  The Alata out of malabrigo would be like wearing a yummy cloud...albeit a super pilly yummy cloud.  But I do so love malabrigo...it is my yarn kryptonite. I totally love the Groove Scarf/shawl by Stephen West!  I am a big fan of little accents around my neck and I think this pattern would work really well for some of my random handspun yarn.  I could use up a

This is my new comic store .  I heart it! Why?  Friendly dudes.  A nice subscription service .  Knitting Night . Kid's Movie Club ,  A mutual love for horror....did I mention a Knitting Night ?  Well you should check it out.  Its right around the corner from the Mayne Stage (where we rocked it at Deathscribe a few days ago) a hop skip and jump from the Morse Redline stop and close to our good good buddies at the Lifeline Theatre .  Evil Squirrel Comics is in a bit of financial woesomeness and I really don't want another awesome comic book store to close yall.  They are amazing community centers to meet people and share ideas, as well as being the place that I buy my floppy cartoon fix.  We need local businesses like Evil Squirrel .  So stick it to the Barnes and Noble Man...buy your comics, games, t-shirts, and toys from a friendly awesome local business like Evil Squirrel!  Also... TODAY there is a Groupon Now !  And it is new comic day!  Weeee!  Ask for suggestion
