Macy's Display

I spent the vast majority of my weekend abusing my debit card.  Actually, that is such a lie...I got cardigans, t-shirts, underclothes, and jeans.  I realized that I hadn't bought new jeans in three years when I somehow managed to rip the belt loops off both the pairs I had gotten at a crap swap earlier this year...pantlessnes is not really an option.

In any case, I suffered through Christmas music at Macy's to have a run-in with some sexy Calvin Kline denim when I also came across this.

Amazing display, right?  Called "Knit Picks" it includes a knitted sweater, skirt, tights, fingerless mitts, knit covered star, a dress form covered in knit scarfs and balls and cones of yarn, and a pair of knitting needles.  I am planning a display in the corner of my room (and/or a Christmas tree) just like this.

Store Bought Knits

Spotted all kinds of great knits at Target, similar to the stuff I've been working on lately.

These little gauntlets (apparently even more people wear them than I thought...):
Wrist-length, fingerless mittens and gloves.  Cable-knit.

This crazy hood thing:
Fair Isle knit.
Cable-knit hat:
Cables
These are most like the gauntlets I'm making:
More cables.  Elbow length.
And these which are also similar:
More elbow-length cable knits.
However, mine are 100% wool, hand knit with love.
