Direct from London

True confession time:
In the midst of all of the gift shopping and gift knitting last month, I indulged in a little splurge for myself.  I saw this online and couldn't resist even though I had to pay for overseas shipping.  Soon after, this sweet little package arrived in the mail:

Opening it made me happy.

Reading through this little book makes me want to knit just about each and every pattern from the designers at Loop.  Actually, as I browse through the beautifully photographed pages, what I really want to do is jump on a plane to London and visit Loop.  But for now, I will content myself with knitting a few patterns.  Here are my favorites from the book:

Brown-Eyed Susan:
This shawl is pictured on the cover of the book in a different color.

Cinnamon Girl:
This cardi looks fun to knit and versatile to wear.

Oak Knot
I plan to knit this first. 

I like the texture of these fingerless gloves.

And now I must go re-order my Ravelry queue!

  3. Oh, that book looks gorgeous! Some great patterns in there. I haven't been to London for yeears, but the next time I do go I'm definitely hunting down loop. From everything I've seen and heard about them it looks like such a lovely store!
