celticdragonflyExciting stuff happened tonight, the main parts of which I will write up, but probably won't have the energy to do until tomorrow.
However, as a side part of all this, we had a short trip to the bookstore. Two new books I covet.
Sensational Knitted Socks by Charlene Schurch. Oh, this is a cool book. I want it mostly as a teaching aid - I know lots of this stuff, but it would be helpful to teach others. Colored knitted samples showing the geometry/archetecture of various styles of knitting a sock. Oooh. And I do want the size charts! And there are stitch patterns I don't know yet. Organized neatly by repeat. Covet.
And, of course, Yarn Harlot : The Secret Life of a Knitter by Stephanie Pearl-McPhee. Have the first book, want the second. Because it'll be FUN.
Didn't get them yet. I've not been buying many books lately - okay, okay, I did get 2 sf paperbacks the other day - but they were on deep discount. Mostly I've been restricting myself to library books. But I do covet these. My wish list is getting out of hand.
