There are 60 copies of the new Debbie Bliss Knitting Magazine (fall/winter 2009 issue) in front of me waiting to be packed, and more in the next box! I’m going to pack the first batch and then sit down with a cup of tea so I can have a look and tell you a little more about what’s inside.

Getting carried away…
I think I might be getting carried away with Yarn Box. The new season ranges are here but I’m still looking for new suppliers. Today I’ve added the incredibly beautiful Signature Needle Arts DPNs to the website (so they can now be pre-ordered) and I’ve ordered “Scrumptious” by Fyberspates, along with more Addi Lace Circular needles. Tomorrow I’m planning to order yarn from Dream in Color. Next comes Stricken Smitten – a new hand dyed range from my lovely sister-in-law in the USA. (You can find the current range on Etsy.com.)
Hopefully, Debbie Bliss Knitting Magazine will be in tomorrow. I can’t wait any longer!

Is it here yet? Debbie Bliss Magazine – Issue 3
I know many Yarn Box customers are eagerly awaiting the new Debbie Bliss Magazine, so am I. I’m just waiting for the magazines to arrive so that I can get packing and cycle around to the post office with as many as I can carry. I was having a look on www.debbieblissonline.com to see what Debbie has to say about the magazine and I’m very tempted by the Union Jack cushion covers…
In the meantime, I’ve made up my mind and have started knitting the Katerina Shawl from the Knitter Issue 4 using Louisa Harding’s Grace Hand Dyed on Kollage’s square circular needles. (I can recommend the needles if you find you hands ache after a week using a mouse at work.) I’ll post a picture when I’ve finished the border.
