WWW for January 21, 2009

Okay, so a little backdating of the blog entry once in a while is allowed, especially if your Wednesday was mostly taken up by being poked with needles and dental drills like mine was. I'd much rather be blogging, trust me.



Like typography? We know of course that you love the knitting. Perhaps you need to combine your two loves and get this hand knitted font. Clever.



All sorts of new print magazines! First, edited by the fabulous Amy O'Neill Houck and Julie Holetz is Inside Crochet.

Are you in the UK? Then you could pick up a copy of The Knitter on a newsstand near you.



New yarns from Lion Brand, including a wool/stainless blend. They've also got organic wool, pure cashmere and a cotton/bamboo blend, all under the new LB Collection brand.



In frosty Minneapolis? Visit the new exhibition: Radiant Knits: The Bohus Tradition. Then drop by the legendary Ingebretsen's to round out the day nicely [and Nordically!]



For the sock fanatic, grab this free e-book while you can! 5 Free Sock Knitting Patterns from Knitting Daily.



Have you heard about Slow Stashing? I've been doing this for a while, combined with a concerted effort to get the yarn on the needles and into FOs. Lots of gifted cowls this past holiday season were knit from goodies formerly hibernating in my stash.



Most mere knitter-mortals aren't allowed inside the doors, but we can read what Knitter's Review editor Clara Parkes writes about her visit to TNNA - the big yarn tradeshow. There's some good news and exciting new stuff to look forward to!
