"Allure" by Patons by Marg Anderson
Hi everyone, just letting you know about "Allure" yarn. It's really a nice yarn ... I've made a couple dress scarves with it and they turned out very rich looking. I have found one problem and I'd like to warn you to be very careful when buying it. I have 2 balls, the same colour and dye lot but...

"Big Fish" Sweater? by Allaya Diep

"Boobie" Scarf by Allaya Diep
Have any of you seen the Boobie Scarf from Knitty.com? It's in the special additional patterns PDF that was released a few days ago. I don't know how practical it is, but I was very impressed with the creativity that went into knitting boobs out of yarn! Allaya

"Heirloom Knitting" @ Amazon by Wooly
Amazon claims to have Sharon Miller's "Heirloom Knitting" for $36 with free shipping if you choose "slow boat via Australia and points south" shipping option. I just ordered, we'll see if it shows up or if they string me along for three months before admitting they don't have it at that price.
