I finally got to grips with knitting over Christmas, and it looks like a great book for taking 'next steps' and making lovely things.<br /><br />I love the Stitch'n Bitch books, but I think Doris Chan's pip them to the post for sheer inspiration. Although having said that, I picked up a book of Erika Knight's patterns for an Amy Butler yarn and immediately had to buy it along with 8 skeins of yarn!! I love it when things just jump out at you like that :)Laurahttp://madeinoxford.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-985070342249816622.post-37110216597541883472012-01-04T22:41:03.164+11:002012-01-04T22:41:03.164+11:00That's my sort of book!

But I must say it is nice to hold a book in your hands, flick between projects, turn the pages. I hope books always have a place in the crafting world........<br /><br />It's delightfully cool here this evening, might even have a sheet on the bed tonight....<br /><br />Claire :}Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09742003349610251189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-985070342249816622.post-59784385025724079452012-01-04T21:49:34.679+11:002012-01-04T21:49:34.679+11:00I love this book!

I love this book in both crochet and knit versions. I've made several items from both.<br />I've also just ordered Debbie Bliss "Home"<br />I've never knitted her patterns, or with her yarn, but I've heard such good things!<br />Happy knitting :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
