Books and sock yarn

This week I've received two books by mail. First one that arrived was "Herkulliset huopatyöt" ("Heartfelt" in US, "Easy Felted Accessories" in UK) by Teresa Sealer. It's very colourful book and there are couple of nice ideas I might try out some day. The other one is a book I have been thinking of buying for a while, it's called "Neuleita kullannupulle" ("Simple Knits for Cherished Babies") by Erika Knight. I needed some knitting patterns for baby stuff and this one has loads.


I went to look for some yarn for a knitted jacket I found from Garnstudio's site. I am trying to find something to replace the Alaska yarn since I don't want to order online but it seems that I just can't find yarn that is same thickness and also right red in colour. But I did buy spool of Step Sock Yarn by Austermann. :)
