Buying knitting books and magazines today

I bought 2 books today and a magazine.. I bought a knitting pattern book...Holiday Knits and a Simply Knitting magazine plus this fun book called.. Every cat's survival guide to living with a Neurotic Owner, By Beth Adelman.

I got such a good deal on the holiday knits book, it was marked at $26.95 and I got it for $12.99 I was so happy as I have wanted this pattern book for ages, there is a cute Striped Christmas Stocking I want to try making in it, and also a nice Hooded Sweater that I really want to make for myself.
There are two other Christmas stocking in the book but they look a bit difficult for me to make, I can't evan knit socks LOL! But I plan to take the book to Australia with me, and get my Mum to help me the the stocking :)
And then there is a payyern for Striped Stocking Caps, that I want to make for some of the kids I look after, so I am going to be really busy knitting when I get back from Australia, I have to make 2 more sweaters to match the elf hats I have made, then I will start on the stocking hats, I am hoping I can get the actual striped stocking finished while I am in Aussie with my Mums help. :)
