Alyrenee's Copious Spare Time

Check it out.  I bought the two pattern books that I have been eyeing for awhile (one for Ellowyne and another that features patterns for several dolls).  Also...I got the Jem Exclusive SDCC cover magazine.

I think it's been up for awhile ...but I finally got around to looking.  I am fairly obsessed with Good Day Sunshine .  I love it and the color.  Must make!  Nerdy Dr. Who shawl ?  yes please.... I also like the gemini tee.

That Moose vest is the cutest .

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 ...

So much wooly numminess.  Love Candles , Tenney Park , Callette Shawl , and Vignette .  Honestly the whole issue seems super yummy this time.

Love this Quercus cardigan ! Quercus   [above], by designer Julie Turjoman, is a half-sleeved cardigan with just enough cabling to keep the knitting interesting, and a silhouette that can flatter almost any body shape. 

I have the itch to do some dolly sewing this weekend and found this site.  I believe that Deliliah Noir is VERY close in size to Ellowyne so these patterns should work.  I will let you know.  They are very cute...

Always exciting !  I like the Leaflet cardigan , Lingerie socks, the I Crocodile hat , and the commuter mitts .

Woot more patterns.  A sock , a super super cute cardi , and an adorable ukelele cozy/purse/case !

Hurrah.  All of the socks are fantastic.  I have been doing sooooo good this year at not buying yarn and working through some of the stash.  I see a lot of potential stashbuster projects in this lot of patterns...my sock yarn stash should start getting excited!  I like rondeur too...a nice short sleeve pullover.  The Omelet shawl looks amazing.  So much knitting to do....

I love the Oranje sweater and the Falberry gauntlets are great.  AND both in orange...which i love.

I really enjoy the other Built by Wendy books...I am looking forward to this one.  These are great for both beginner sewers and old pros alike!

I LOVED the first one ...I cannot wait for the second offering !

I adored Knitting Little Luxuries ...so I went ahead and ordered this one today.  Yum yum.  Check out the preview at the interweave store .

Um  yeah.  Check out the preview .  Bring a nappy.

The Diversify Cowl would be swell to use up some of my handspun yarn. The Cartouche Shawl is gorgeous but slightly daunting since it's knit on size three needles! I love Lady Lovelace . So much knitting....

I covet the Kenning Mitts , the Mette-Maritt Pullover , and the Bandha hoodie is AWESOME!

Super cute ...

I loved last year's magazine ..The Mariner Pullover looks promising and I totally will have to find a baby to wear it with me...or maybe have one to wear the matching sweater. I am totally serious.  I mean I will like love the baby and all..but yes he/she will also be an awesome accessory. :)  Hopefully a slimming one... I am also loving the Prairie Lace Blouse .  The Conte Hoodie would be awesome for people who covet shibui sock yarn but hate to knit socks... I like the Briseis Pullover too...and its in a chunkier yarn so it would knit up in about two seconds on size 11 needles.  And I smell a new malabrigo hat in my future using the Byrony pattern. Yum for fall knits...and I swear I am recording a podcast this weekend so help me Jebus.

Got this pattern in the mail today...I heart it and will make it.  I have not dusted off the crochet needles in a while and this looks like a killer sock yarn scrap stashbuster!
