Okay, I hate cold weather. But I kind of wish winter would hurry up. Just because there's so many great cold-weather patterns that I want to make. All of those incredible chunky sweaters from Big City Knits. And my latest obsession, the Hideout Coat from the Fall issue of Knitscene.

It's just such a great coat. And I've decided on a scarf for my mom (I'm going to start the scarves soon): the Teardrop Scarf from the same issue of Knitscene. One ball of Jade Sapphire Lacey Lamb which is really great stuff. And it's knit sideways which is intriguing. With beads.
