Alexandra: did you move your blog? I'm getting a "forbidden!" message when I click my link.

And...the new Knitty is up! I've not been wild about some of the past issues (but hey, it's free, and I've not been wild about a lot of the past issues of Knitters', which I pay for). There are a couple things I like in here, just with a quick look - the teddy bear (of course), and the cabled cardigan (Samus) (and ooooh, I have some green worsted weight yarn in my stash that I bought without a project in mind beyond "something with cables on it"). And I like the looks of Cinxia but from past experience with doing twisted stockinette I know it would take me forever to finish. And Blackberry, and Josephine...I love cables (both doing them and how they look) so this issue is a winner for me.

and there's even socks (but they're toe-up, with the typical toe-up shortrowed heel, which doesn't fit me well. Too bad.)

And a scarf!

(...makes me think of "And a hotplate!" Fifty bonus points to anyone who can tell me the source of that line, without Googling it)
