I got an offer in the mail yesterday for a new knitting book from Vogue: Stitchionary Vol. 1: Knit & Purl. Okay. This looks fabulous. It has 250 different stitch patterns that they’ve culled from back issues of Vogue Knitting. Some of the samples in the little flyer are totally cool. Plus, if I rush right out and send in their form, I get a copy of their Felting book and two yarn needles in a “handy transparent carrying case” (read: plastic tube, I’m sure), for three easy installments of $10.00 (plus shipping). Or, I can pre-order it and get the felting book right now, but no nifty yarn needles in a “handy transparent carrying case,” for about the same price, plus shipping.

When push comes to shove, I’ll just wait and pick up that oh-so-fabulous-looking new stitch pattern book sometime at a used bookstore, or online for next to nothing, when it’s not so new, but it’s sure nice to dream. Sigh.

I wonder if I can find something around here to sell so I can use the money for that glorious new book…
