more books!

Y’all remember how I mentioned that I had no idea we had so many books? Well, I just ordered three more.

The lucky winners of Emily’s Barnes & Noble Shop-a-Thon were:

  • Weekend Knitting Projects – Knitted chair covers certainly seem like a good idea to me!
  • Vogue Knitting Quick Reference – My other reference books are Very Very Big. I have been hesitating on this one because a spiral binding seems like a Bad Idea when shoved in a bag full of yarn. I’ll let you know if there are any ill effects.
  • The New Knitting Stitch Library – I am buying this one sight unseen because it’s charts! No translating for socks!

Aren’t gift cards great things? Fathers-in-law aren’t bad either. And free shipping! And there is $1.02 left on the gift card. AND they shipped today. I’ll be the one waiting by the mailbox.

While I am waiting, I think I will be Knitting Along on the Must-Have Cardigan. After I finish my fluffy sweater (I’m almost to the back armholes). I must not let the temptation to swatch get the better of me. Must…..not……..swatch.
