My new favorite magazine?

I just discovered a new (to me) knitting magazine, it may be my favorite magazine ever :) Debbie Bliss Magazine rocks!! This issue has the cutest kid's hat & mitten sets, there's an owl, a fox, a panda, and a penguin set. I've already made the owl and fox hats this week, and I'm working on the shawl from the cover, it has a panel of snowflakes down the center back.

It does, of course, use all Debbie Bliss yarns. Wish I could bring myself to spend that kind of money to make the projects, but I just can't. I have my eye on several more of the projects in the magazine, but for now I'm sticking to anything I can knit with yarn that's in my stash already. There are some gorgeous cabled sweaters in this issue, and a hooded & cabled baby sweater that's adorable! I have dark blue yarn in my stash that will work for a toddler's gansey, debating that because the yarn is not machine washable...

Working thirds means I have a bit of time to knit too, and now several people from work think that I should teach them how to knit. One nurse brought me a project that she thought she'd goofed (she hadn't), and another person wants me to finish a project for her that someone else started... Not so sure about that one, it's hard to match another person's gauge, and I don't want to get into a mess I have to rip out and fix.

Back to knitting, so many projects on the needles, and so many more on my wish list!!
This one is on the needles, and about 75% done.
