because I am reading this on my palm via Palm Reader, and am finally getting into it. I loved the other “Ender” books, so if you did, you will dive right into these, I imagine. I must say that reading on the Palm is odd, and even though it’s with me all the time, I don’t think to pick it up like I do a paper book.
Plus a Marion Zimmer Bradley/ Diana Paxon book, one of the Avalon ones but I don’t remember what it was.
Most of the next few were bought in the Hurt Books sale, so they were half price. This one came with a bunch of errata which was nice of them to include, instead of me hunting it down off the Interweave web site.
I don’t really even like vests, but I do like some of the patterns, especially the cover one.
There’s a few cute ones, but I probably won’t make many of these.
Now this was just silly. I want to make some xmas stockings but needed some inspiration on the scale of them, so I bought this one thinking it might help. It might.
This one is nice, I like a lot of the patterns, and can see using this as inspiration.
I keep waiting for good stuff to show up in Crafter’s Choice, the crafty book club. Most months I just toss the flyer, but once in a while something good comes along:
It’s likely that I will get more inspiration for xmas stockings from this book instead! There’s lots of cool stuff that I can see for edging a plain sweater that will make it really nice. Maybe my first design?
I got this one while trying to figure out what to do with a Barnes & Noble Gift Card. I was always curious about the concept, and can see some uses for this technique.
I just started reading this: I loved his other books, so I have been waiting and waiting for this one to come in paperback, but I couldn’t pass up a slightly crinkled used copy for only $10 at a local used book shop!
I started reading this last week, but Quicksilver took precedence.
If anyone has any suggestions for a good (and paperback) sci-fi type tome that would make good plane-trip material, drop me a line, eh? I used to have a roomate that read books/week and so I would read what he was done with. Our tastes mostly aligned, but without my sci-fi buddy, I haven’t been very adventurous.
Why is it ok to spend so much on knitting books that might suck, but not sci-fi? I guess it’s more work to figure out that the sci-fi book sucks, but not really, if you knit something and then discover the pattern sucks. Hmm, I guess I need to re-think this one.
I think I need to make a list of the books I have read — recently, at least.
