what a pretty sweater! and such a fun knitting journal! i too am a big fan of pens and paper and also of school supplies. nothing says fall is here like crisp new notebooks, pencils, and pens!

Do you know if she sells the journal somewhere? Just love it!

Oh! I was just looking at that pattern this morning. I cannot wait to see your progress on it!!

That is my absolute favorite sweater from the new VK mag. It reminds me of one I saw (and lusted after) in NY last year. It's definitely in my queue. I can't wait to see how yours turns out. I'm sure you will look fabulous in it too.

Oh, and I could spend all day in a good stationery store.

Wow! you already started. I love that sweater too but still can't decide what color I should get. I have too many greys in my wardrobe.

Ooo, that is a lot of cables. It is going to be very pretty. I LOVE SCHOOL SUPPLIES! almost as much as yarn. They are more affordable at times so I have tons.

Oh Les, I can't wait to see the finished sweater! I'm happy to see that you are making something nice for yourself. Keep us posted.

Looks like cable-y goodness. You know, I've NEVER knitted anything for myself. What is wrong with me?

love the journal! I need to get one!

i heart cables. can't wait to see this come together!

What a fun journal! It is so fun to be tactile in this crazy e-world. I am also loving that sweater. It is going to be gorgeous on you!

What a great idea to have a knitting journal! I usually leave lots of little post-its everywhere, and then promptly lose them...

Congrats on the journal. I love that you used a fancy pair of scissors for the picture.

I loved school supplies!

Oh my! I can hardly wait to see it finished. The blue is absolutely beatiful too. Don't you just love the knitting those cables?

Oh my gosh that is beautiful, I love it. I want a knitting journal like that - whaaa!! I think Jill posted a print off form so you could make your own, but I love that spiral bound look with the little pocket to keep your yarn sample in. I wish she still sold them.
I can't bear to blog about my 'Sahara' but I will try to soon :-/

A knitting journal is a great idea! I'm a big fan of school supplies too, can't wait 'til my kids need them.
Your sweater looks great. There are some lovely cables in the new IK. Very tempting.

love it... almost makes me want to do it~almost!!!

That's looking fabulous! Are you doing it in Cashmerino? I've been wanting to try that for the longest time. I love the color you chose, too.

Your cable stitches are very neat.

It's going to be a gorgeous sweater too.

The journal is fabulous! I am like that too with having pens, paper - ribbon, any little something. That sweater is simply amazing, I am breathless. Can't wait to see it develop.

It looks very cabley yummy! Makes me want to get my yarn and needles now to cast on, but there's a queue, you know :) And the colourful erasers are too cute!

What a fun journal! I love the erasers too!

It's looking fabulous!

That is hands down the best pattern in the entire mag, I love it! I can't believe you are so far on it--way to go!

Its so cool to see what you knit up. It is so different from the stuff I usually pick, and I love that! Its so neat to stop by the blog and see what you have on your needles.
Its knitting up fast! Especially with all of those cables?! Very cool.

What wonderful stitch definition! A tactile sensation, no doubt.

Ah, that's on my TO DO list as well. I'll be watching your progress with interest.

Oh I have been completely obsessing over this pattern! I love it! I wish I had the time. . .
I will live vicariously through yours.

I love that sweater, It has a sticky on it in my new book! That journal is awesome - I so covet it :) Happy knitting. g

All of those cables! They look lovely, your sweater is going to be fantastic!

Your sweater is beautiful! I love those cables. And that knitting journal is fabulous!

Mmm...I'm tempted to knit this one too. Yours is going to look gorgeous!

Wow! Beautiful work - that sweater is going to be goregous!

Love your supplies too and I'm so glad you are enjoying the journal! I need to make more for Knitterella.com

Thank you!
Jill

That knitting journal is totally awesome! And all your cabely goodness is making me thing of my knitting basket languishing in the corner of my studio.

The cables are beautiful!
And so is your bike :)

OMG Leslie, that is SO your sweater! I can't wait, I just cant wait. There is something about debbie and her blissful yarns, what is it, they are so neat, so perfectly spun and packaged, that debbie, she knows.

Your organization kills me!!

This looks beautiful though!

Oh my gosh, what a fabulous idea! A knitting journal! I don't know why the heck I didn't think of that... I love making lists too and have enough lined sticky note pads to sink a ship. I even keep a garden journal... but a knitting journal is WAY cooler.
Your sweater is going to be gorgeous. Love love love that color. Can't wait to see the FO!

That sweater looks comfy and cozy! Thanks for the advice on my 1/4 life crisis!

It really is beautiful so far!

The sweater looks oh so inviting! The knitting journal is a must have like others I wonder if she is selling them somewhere?

Oh, I agree, the journal is amazingness. I definitely need to find one!

Your sweater looks amazing so far! I can't wait to see your progress.

I keep a small journal, but it's definitely not as cool as yours!

Love your site. I'm a new knitter and your work is just lovely! The journal is terrific!!

Love how the sweater is looking....definatly bliss!!!

Girl! That is looking good!! I wish I had the time to start one! And the color is perfect. Are you signed-up for the Silver Belle KAL. If not, let me know and I'll send you the link!

You have inspired me to carry on with the pattern. I have finished the sleeves and had 6" of the peplum but it measured huge. I ripped it out and started with a smaller size. Can you use the gauge in moss stitch?
