Due to popular demand, these are most of the books that are in this photo.
The pile of books on the far left, starting at the top:
Crewel World by Monica Ferris. A woman inherits a knitting shop from her murdered sister—and knows nothing about knitting! First in a series. It was quite fun. I look […]
What is most battered book in your collection? The one with loose pages, tattered corners, and page edges so soft that there’s not even a risk of paper cuts anymore? There are two. A paperback copy of Margaret Mitchell’s Gone with the Wind that I got when I was in junior high school, and a […]
On coffee
Michelle said,
I think the closer you get to Seattle the more guilty you’re supposed to feel about not drinking coffee. I’m still 3 hrs away and I do believe I’m the only person in the entire STATE of Oregon that doesn’t drink coffee.
I know how you feel, Michelle. Most of my life I’ve […]
Knitting needles that take batteries? I’m not sure why you’d want them. If it’s that dark, you won’t be able to read your pattern. That, and I’d think they would be likely to disturb the people around you, like in a movie theater or something. I appear not to be in their target audience. If […]
I forget whose blog I found this link on. Drat. Anyway, Elizabeth Lovick has an article about Shetland lace knitting, including a bit of history, and a few patterns, on Knitting Beyond the Hebrides site. There are a lot of wonderful links on their schedule page.
I’ve been thinking about maybe joining The Knitting Guild […]
I don’t like coffee. Never have. Don’t know if I ever will. Time will tell. Dave likes it, though. Hm. No, I don’t think like is a strong enough word. He’s passionate about coffee. That works better. He’s been considering getting into roasting his own coffee. See? Passionate. Only people passionate about coffee care to […]

There is also a case of reference and software books next to […]
Yarn shop link
Ooh, Angela, what gorgeous yarn. Thank you for sharing the link to Spritely Goods. They most definitely have some yummy yarns to choose from.
Reading about knitting
I’ve been reading A Good Yarn by Debbie Macomber. I happened to be finishing up the last few chapters while sitting here at my computer, so was able […]
I was reading Theresa’s blog this morning. She just finished her flower basket shawl from the Fall 2004 issue of Interweave Knits. I went and dug out my copy of the magazine. Nope. Would never have knit it from that picture. But Theresa’s shawl is gorgeous. She had a link to a Fiber Trends page […]
I got another email from KnitPicks late last week. This one featured knitted, felted bowls. I don’t know why, but I am quite drawn to these bowls. Perhaps it’s because I love just about any kind of dishes, plus I love knitting. The combination just rocks my socks. I can’t spend the money on it […]
