Finally, I've had time to get all of my notes together, and get this done! Below are links and a brief of everything I talk about in this episode. And, for some reason I thought this was Episode 10.... that may be because this was done at 2:30 in the morning. Episode 9!!! I apologize for the less than stellar performance; like I said, it was 2:30 am....
A review of Vogue Knitting Fall 2003 issue, by me and a review of the Fall 2010 issue by my sister (She has her own crafty blog called Stitches N Purls). A link to Vogue Knitting can be found at the top of the blog - you can subscribe as well as purchase back issues. Be sure to sign up for the news letter too!
There is a super neat new app for the iPod Touch and iPhone called Knit-n-Count. I decided to splurge and pay the $1.99 to download this app. It counts rows as well as pattern repeats, and you can even set an alarm to go off to remind you to do a certain stitch at a particular point in the pattern. If you need to frog a few rows, no problem; the app will help you keep track of that also. You can enter up to 10 different projects at a time, along with the name of the project and any notes you might want to jot down. Great for designing your own patterns, IMHO. Here is an article about the app.
