I already AM a wiener! I won a book tonight at the Knitters Guild meeting — it’s a really lovely book with some great patterns.
Knitting Classic Style by Veronik Avery
It has a little bit of everything: sweaters, vests, socks, gloves, wraps, styles for all ages, fair isle, lace, cables, beads. There are several patterns that piqued my interest. Woo Hoo!!
Veronik has done a lot of designing for Interweave Knits, and she has several designs that you would (might?) recognize:
So, it was a nice St. Patty’s Day! Hope yours was great, too, and sober!
PS — the blog title refers to an old cartoon that was one of my favorites. It shows a hot dog mailing an envelope that reads…yes, you guessed it, “You may already be a wiener!”
Congratulations you lucky dog-hot dog, that is. What a great prize! You are indeed a wiener.

Congratulations, Susan! I loved your afghan. I had always wanted to see the square with the little sweater on it in person, as it’s always been a favorite of mine whenever I’ve seen it in project photos on Ravelry, but I had no idea you had designed it! Well done!

Oh, Veronik is one of my favorite designers! You won that fair and square, I must say.

I have that book and love it! I am planning to take it back to Canada with me in May as my sister wants me to knit her something and I feel confident she’ll find something in that book! 🙂

Oh well, really! Not only is that one of my fave cartoons too, I’ve brought up my daughter with that expression (she’s 22). It still flays me too!
I enjoy your site. Thanks very much.
