2 Book reviews and the birth of a new project

Well, here I am, just like I said. Today is a much slower pace than yesterday, thank goodness. So, onto The Harmony Guide to Aran Knitting, an older book with great pattern ideas. They even have some sweater combinations premade, just waiting to be knit into a cozy sweater. It is an older book, from 1992, but I think I'll try to find it cheap.

Being a paperback, the pages seem to pop out from the binding, which is a total bummer.

Now, onto a book I already owned, but didn't look through quite as closely as I would have wanted. This was a jewel found at the local Saver's store. The Complete Stitch

Directory, printed in 1988. This does have crochet, embroidery, and needlepoint in it, but the knitting part is great. Some very unusual stitches that I haven't seen before, and will definitely be incorporating into some mitts, and perhaps a smartphone cozy.

And, last but not least, my newest project. I love the color of this cotton yarn, but alas, the identifying paper is lost. I have no idea what brand or color it is, just that it is cotton.

Yes, those are my favorite Knitter's Pride Cubix double point needles. I just can't keep from raving about them!

Tomorrow it is supposed to snow, so I'll be posting.
