my life in stitches

hot off wendy's needles

i'm always curious to know what my music my favorite bands are listening to, what books my favorite authors are into, and which labels are being worn by favorite fashion designers. similarly, i often wonder what my favorite knitting designers are knitting for themselves. naturally, i was thrilled when Wendy Bernard, author of Custom Knits, told me that she was knitting my design, Bibi. i am crazy about the color that she chose for hers (Noro Matsuri, color 1). in fact, i prefer it to the color that i chose for mine. hmm... i may have to knit a second Bibi.
