martha really gets me.
for the next week or two i will be putting this note at the top of each of my postings because my blog is actually at a new url now. you may not notice it because my other url is re-directing. so if you haven't been here for a few days, PLEASE update your links to be www.goodtobegirl.com/blog. i would hate to lose you.
i finally have an almost finished object to show you! and sadly, no it is not the pinwheel blanket. but a scarf for me!
the yarn is something i picked up on sale last month. the colors remind me of the beach. and since it is summer that seemed appropriate! the pattern i am using is from the vogue knitting reference book. the pattern kind of gives the sensation of ocean waves. i am very happy with the way it has turned out, although it looks a little 60's macrame or something.
i popped in a fabric store yesterday and came across some to die for fabric. it is destined to be a handbag of some sort. i love it!
i need a fiance. now. i subscribe to martha's wedding mag and the latest issue may just be the best issue yet (if you think i am nutty for subscribing to a wedding magazine while being single, then you don't know how far my love of martha goes, i subscribe to ALL her magazines). check out these pages
man, oh man, my fav color combos!!
pink and green in action.
and a perfect bouquet.
welcome back martha, you have not disappointed me. the latest issues of your mags have been some of the most beautiful yet.
well, happy saturday all, it is definately time for a peach martini! cheers!

That scarf is really lovely!
I love the color combos in your scarf. I agree that the pattern is "wavy". Perfect for summer.
Man oh man, Martha is channeling our color combos. I adore every one of them.
I hope you enjoyed your martini. Wish I could be there to clink classes with you.

Martha always makes me want to throw a party too. With little nametags for everyone and special party favors! She's brilliant.
And that martini looks wonderful. Cheers!
I really love that stitch pattern- I am thinking of doing a throw with some of the yarn from the wool festival with that same pattern. Is it self patterning, or did you use different colors?
And no, I don't think you're crazy- I still read the wedding issues, and I'm already married. :P
PS- Great fabric. As with every post, Amy, everything is great!
I love your scarf- it's so pretty!
I have a love/hate relationship with Martha. I love all of her ideas and I hate that I don't have the patience or time to use any of her ideas!
I've been married for almost 2 years and I still look at her wedding mag too. Your scarf looks great, is it a ribbon yarn you used?
That scarf is really gorgeous. What's the yarn? Is it a ribbon?
Ha ha, I can so commiserate. I'm married, had a teeny casual "wedding," and I *still* subscribe to Weddings. That's a really great scarf, too.
I would ove that magazine also - the colour lok lovery. I love your scarf. And your blog.

Even if the scarf does look like something out of the 60's it's still awesome! I love the wavy pattern.
beautiful scarf! i love the colors and the pattern. can't wait to see it all finished up.
i too have had a long affair with martha. i thought the magaine got weird and very un-martha while she was gone. love the colors in you scarf by the way.
You must try a MANGO martini!! YuMMy! YuMMy!
