I am a bit embarrassed to realize how many of those I own and have been meaning to read--but still haven't! I tag Ken and Pete.
In other knitting news, my MIL has stitched up the Childhood cardi and as soon as I get the button situation dealt with, it will be finished!
I've also started my next Rowan pattern. Meet Bob from Rowan Babies:
I have modified the stripe sequence because the one called for in the pattern is a 62 row sequence. Hello? I can barely count to 8 to load the coffee maker. I ended up doing royal blue trim, 2 rows of red and 6 rows of light blue. Wayyyy easier, and even then, I still would screw up occasionally and forget the sequence.
;) Is Bob the kid's name, or the name of the sweater?
(I can't describe how disappointed I am that you haven't read Neuromancer.)
