Squee!

Oooh, my dear readers, the Wanton One has encountered a LOVELY book that seems like it was made for HER and HER ALONE! I have just bought Naughty Needles!

It's full of all kinds of adorable and fascinating patterns, for everything from lingerie, to a mermaid tail, to...well, let's just say there are some rather racy items in there. :) Sure, it's a novelty book, but these are novelties I like. One of the reviewers on Amazon seems to have been appalled by the very idea of some of these patterns. I found her reaction amusing.

Anyway, I have been a very distracted knitter lately. I still haven't been able to bring myself to unroll my old carpet onto the floor and use it to reblock my cardigan. I put my scarf aside because it was getting boring, and started working on a bag. I'm nearly done with it--got the front and back and part of the gusset done--but had to put THAT on hold to start working on a bouquet of knitted roses for my mom for Mothers' Day. They have knitting needle stems, and I'm giving them to mom with a copy of Stitch 'n' Bitch, since she's been talking about getting back into knitting. That would be cool. :)
