I think Stitch and Motif Maker v. 3.0 is going to change my life. Not because I can now make charts more easily - that is not so life-shattering. The software is going to change my life because I can now better imagine what the colors will look like together BEFORE I start knitting. I've already re-arranged my entire stash in the shelving units by color and I'm raring to get to work playing with colors some more. It was $70 I really didn't want to spend but I'm very glad I did. Knitpicks appears to sell it for the lowest price plus free shipping.
Here are some wrist warmers I did for the booklet that kind of remind me of a field of flowers. They actually fit more snugly than it appears but I didn't wait until the wool dried to get the photo for this blog.
