Haven't I already got enough projects on my plate, you ask? Why yes, yes I do. I freely admit this. However, I also freely admit that I am undaunted by this volume of projects, and that this volume has no restraining effect whatsoever on my ability to be inspired to do more. So nyah. "Magic Carpet" is a sweater pattern which appears in Alice and Jade Starmore's The Children's Collection book. It is an absolutely gorgeous pattern - it's got animals on it, plus some funky designs on the borders, all in an Africany/Middle-Easterny style, and I want to make it for my kid. However, there's no hurry. I actually prefer the pattern as written for the 4-5 year or 6-7 year sizes, so this will probably be a project for 2007 or later. (Yes, I do plan that far ahead. Yes, I am that anal. Yes, the fact that I have a detailed budget spreadsheet should have given that away.)
