I did a little shopping at Chapters after work, and found some real knitting gems while I was there.
Now I have all the cool books I've been wanting for a while. I couldn't resist the 200 Crochet Blocks book. As many of you know, I'm a bit hooked (hehe) on crocheted squares right now, and this book has so many cool looking ones. Don't you just love Interweave Press? I sure do.
When I got home, I found something interesting on the deck. Apparently Stu had been busy while I was at work.
This is cat hair yarn from our little grey guy, and it's been knit up by Stu. Does your man knit? Apparently mine does!
We have a rug right outside our sliding glass door to the deck, and the cat lies on it and gets it covered in cat hair. When Stu cleans it, he rubs it from one side to the other, which creates yarn that is quite tightly "spun". He's never knit with it before though.
Alright, I'd better go and start looking through my new books.
Props to Stu for providing the knitting content today!

I love your new books. I have Weekend Knitting and it is one of my favorites. I have been hoping to have a peek through Mason Dixon Knitting one of these days to see if I have to have it as well.
That is hilarious that your husband knit with cat hair, what a funny guy :-)
I'm actually more impressed that you have a guy who cleans up cat hair than I am by the fact that he knit with it! =) Sounds like you found a keeper!
that cat yarn is great. my bf likes to pick up my knitting occasionally and pretend he's making something, but it's all just for show.
I love all the books you picked out, they're my favorites!
