Questions....

Found this gem of a book at our library yesterday. It is thick, full of great images and I want to try many of the patterns. This is an almost never for me! I'm choosey. I don't buy pattern books often. I'm cheap. I may end up purchasing it. Do you have your eye on a new pattern book?

or any new book?

I have four of the "One-Skein Wonder" books. Love them!!
I do have several new sock books on my wish list. I just can't seem to get enough of them even though it would take me 5 life times to knit all the socks I want.
And on a different note, I'm waiting for Wendy Johnson's new Lace book due out soon.

I have the stashbusting version of this book somewhere at my dad's I think - loved it!

I've been pretty bad with books lately. Two days ago I went out with W (my boyfriend) and ended up spending around $50 on books - all to be read before I go back to school! And they're not textbooks!

I, too, am cheap when it comes to buying knitting patterns ;) I do have my eye on a sock pattern book, though: "Knit. Sock. Love" by Cookie A. But, I just got a bunch of free patterns from the Loopy Ewe's blog so, I may have that urge quelled :)

I think I want Knit.Sock.Love., but I can't find it in any local stores to make sure I REALLY want it.

I have that one - and all the other one-skein books - and adore it. I'm on a knitting book diet. Luckily, my yarn shop owner friend breaks my fast for birthdays and Christmas. She finds the latest, greatest stuff I haven't even had time to want yet!

I'm trying to stop buying so many books in addition to yarn purchases. My most recent purchase was Knit! Swirl and I've misplaced it some where. It's definitely worth checking out.

I have 101 Designer 1 Skein Wonders and it is also a good book.

I ALWAYS have my eye on some type of book... it's the teacher in me. I have that particular book, and I LOVE it! Great eye-candy! I haven't had time to make anything from it yet (I'm too stuck on socks), but when I get a chance to do something different I will pick something from here. I purchased it because I bought some sock yarn that I later discovered I was not crazy about because of the way it pools. My solution... use the yarn to make something else from this book... when I get a chance. Those are "oft-spoken" words from me.

I have that book, and two of it's cousins, too. As to an eye out for something new, I'm trying very hard not to look! La, la, la, la...I can't see you....

The nearly Thousandth post Contest

(just another baby legging in the image. Using my socks yarns a little differently) I think that blogger may not have correctly counted all the posts I've written. I've been posting since 2004 so I guess it is possible. I'm not going to go back and count them all. It says this is post 987. So we'll go with it. Im having a little contest for the milestone, but I have had writer's block since I decided on the 1000th post contest. So to take the pressure off, we are just going to do this now. :) I get crazy with pressure around events of all kinds. I just do. To enter: Please please please only leave a comment about this post on this post. Im much too flakey to search around differnt posts, afterall there are nearly a thousand (did I mention that number already? sorry....) Leave a comment telling me anything about Lace. If you dn't know anything about Lace, ask someone and share their knowledge. Do tell us who gave you this lace advice, to make it f...

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
