The first is: The Sweater Workshop: Knit Creative, Seam-Free Sweaters on Your Own With Any Yarn by Jacqueline Fee which I thought was pretty cool when I borrowed it from the library. This is a new edition and I am going to make the thing.

The second is: 365 Knitting Stitches a Year Perpetual Calendar by Ed Martingale. I got this one because I don’t have any stitch dictionary yet, so why not start with a small one?
I will post reviews of them when I read them, especially the sweater workshop since I am planning to make the thing.
