Before this pic never realized how closely this colorway resembles weathered painted wood. In a good way.
Received a promotional coupon from Borders for 30% off any reg priced item so picked up a little resource book. Jackpot.
Used the tip for joining the first round of a circular item (cast on an extra stitch then when joining round, slip the first stitch on the right needle to the left needle and k2tog for the first stitch) and am very happy with the result.

Thanks for the tip- I'm planning to cast on an "in-the-round" project in the next few days! Perfect timing. Looking forward to seeing your Ester too.
those bears look so huggable :)
yay for flicca! i'm gearing up to buy the pattern, too. what are you doing about the 7mm needles? yarn? hmmm., maybe this calls for a KAL.
Lucky you and Sara+h! A knit-fest and a blogger meet up.
