and the band played on...

... could refer to the old song.. could refer to the hbo special of several years ago.. could refer to what my head is currently hearing.. could be i've finally gone 'round the bend....

i've been known to say "i can do anything for 24 hours..." so let us just see if that is true.

i have been inundated with inspiration online over the past few days... i think i will go down to the Pit-stash-store.. lol and see what i have that i can make what with where.

i will share my inspiratory places..

there is Sea Star from the blog Tangled- with all it's

loveliness.. and part of the sales go to a worthwhile cause.

there is a designer - who has done a series of three shawls - i was made aware of the third - Saroyan - looks like something i might want to involve myself in.. actually all three are lovely and i do think do-able..

there is a cowl that i have apparently already purchased *gee must have liked it, eh?* from this blog - A Few Stitches Short- called Stryder -

and something that has not been released yet called.. Argonath - go see it - trust me..

i hope these blogs/designers do not mind that i have captured pics from their sites.. i've linked directly to them in each case (using my handy dandy open in a new tab trick) so you can go directly...

since i have been woefully negligent in sharing inspiration lately, i can only hope this helps to bring me up to date and back to speed. as always i appreciate the work these designers share with everyone. Check out all these pages for free patterns to enhance your holiday gift knitting.... or ideas for that special something.. or just to read the words they take the time to share.

and as for me? hmmmmmm ...lol...

a song.. this month will be full of songs.. I'm there too.. i choose to believe that's true... thanks as always to youtube and the poster...
