I just love knitting in the round. No side seams to worry about, less purling, quick quick, quick! Fuchsia is flying along despite the smaller needles (US 5) and the ribbing. I actually like doing ribbing (this sweater is k3 p1), but I do think it is a bit slower than plain old knitting. And did I mention how much I like this yarn, even though it is 50% cotton?

Yesterday I took a knitting break to make some pillows for the couch. Not little throw pillows, but great big pillows! Kohl's was having a 50% off sale on their pillows, so I got 4 for $20. I used some extra fabric I had around the house to make the pillow covers, so these two pillows together cost only $10 + about an hour of sewing time. Since these were scraps of fabric from another project, I ran out. The other two pillows will have to wait until find more fabric.

Any rubber stampers out there? I'm selling off part of my stash on eBay. There are Christmas and Holiday stamps here and a bunch of other stamps here. Thanks for looking!

Knitting news: I'm making good progress on Fuchsia. I just love knitting in the round!
