Open source

I'm all about open source knitting. I love free patterns, the flow of discussion about modifications, the marketplace of knit ideas.



But I just got the famous Loop-d-Loop book, and now I see why everyone is raving about it. There's some beautiful designs in there. There is also some fug, but that seems unavoidable in knitting. There are about 6 patterns in there that I can't wait to get on my sticks. I have the backlog of projects before that can happen though. Mom's b-day tote is progressing slowly and will in no way be done by Saturday. Knitting on deadlines is a bad idea.
