| - This is a truly mindblowing knitting
book. We have never seen anything like this before. this is a book
of knitting effects achieved with stitch manipulations. I have never
seen most of them. Gorgeous color photos and thoughtful prose. We
will be playing with these ideas for years. |

| Weekend
Knitting by Melanie Falick |

This cozy, inspiring book will have you knitting sideways mitts while
sipping hot chocolate in the bath. It evokes that safe, insular feeling
you have when you're knitting and has many clever things you'll want
to knit. |

| Scarfs
ed. Pam Allen |
| -
I was mad at this book because I almost got to be in it and then didn't
but it is a great book! The scarfs beg to be made even though we all
have 20 scarfs. The entralac scarf, the twisted noodle scarf and Katharine
Alexander's "art scarf" are all very good for hand spinners.
Blurry pictures for some mysterious reason. |

I like to learn new tricks from knitting books not just hat patterns.
There are many new little units there to knit and put together, triangles
of all kinds, socks, lots of vests, many thoughts on how to design. |
