I left at 7:45 this morning for a quick run to Toronto to pick up the latest Rowan and RYC magazines. Not sure how people fight that traffic everyday. Waiting for me was the new Rowan yarns Tapestry and Country. I spent most of the day helping customers and putting away yarn but I couldn't stop myself from starting Dylan from the new Country Escape magazine. The yarn is great to knit with. It is similar to Lopi in that it isn't twisted but much, much softer. The strands of yarn are different colours giving the tweed effect. You can't beat the 9mm needles either.

Here is one half of my Tempest. The chocolate brown doesn't show off the lace pattern at the bottom very well.

Big Brother and Rock Star tonight-can't beat that!!

Tempest looks great. The chocolate brown looks yummy. I love browns.

Dylan is awesome. I love that yarn. Those colours. Niiice. A sweater like that would look uber nice on Michael, I think ... And you're right, you can't beat 9mm's.

Who do you like on Rock Star? And how about that Dilana? What was she thinking saying that stuff? Getting a little too cocky for my liking. BB. Sorry to see Howie leave (in a way) but glad that James is gone. Would have preferred one of Chilltown, but if you're going to be stupid and keep them, then...... Also, actually glad to see George in there still. Seems to be just a NICE person.... They're gonna eat him live.
