The one book you would have in your knitting bag?
 

Howdy,

I have looked over a few books that I think would be good to keep in
my knitting bag. My current favorite is The Knitting Answer Book:
Solutions to Every Problem You'll Ever Face; Answers to Every Question
You'll Ever Ask.

Which title would you want in your bag if'n you could only have one
book? I am thinking of when I travel and I can't take my library with
me GRIN

One! Just One! How cruel.

Probably a stitch dictionary then. Mary Thomas's Book of Knitting
Patterns lives on my bedside table most of the time.

I like the Answer book too...it's small and flexable. Also the Knitters
Companion by Vicki Square.

Both solid knitting reading. I like my copy of Knitting Patterns more
because it's a great source of inspiration and because my copy was
originally my great grandmother's and is annotated with occassional
notes that I find very charming. But I wouldn't let either go. I also
have her embroidery book, not that I do much in the way of embroidery
but I like her style and I'm a sucker for books. I like to have "full
sets" of authors I enjoy.

I'm still struggling with the one book idea but come to think of it I
don't do much of what I like in moderation: too many books, not enough
shelf space; too much art, not enough wall space; too much wool/fibre
(and other craft stash), not enough cupboard space; too many cats, not
enough bed space. :-)

Is this your way of saying your life is full VP? (lol) ;-)

The title of the one book I would take in my knitting bag when I
travel? Difficult to say. However, it would certainly NOT be related
to knitting, and would actually be some fairly trashy best-selling
paperback! The only knitting-related thing that can be read that I
ever take is a copy of the stitch pattern I am doing, written or
charted on a 3 x 5 index card, or an 8.5 x 11 photocopy if it's a
fairly large color chart, but none at all if it's not a complicated
stitch or color pattern. Why on earth would anybody need anything
else????

OH! I'm so glad I'm not alone :-)

(not that I'd be reading a best seller either)

LOL cats don't need much space ;-) I too collect books and have just
started expanding the Knitting area of a already full bookcase.

It's such a pity that they are so fussy about the space they will use.
There is always a queue to sleep on top of the nightstore heater or
right in front of the fire.

DH declared that the space on the floor under the coffee table did not
count as legitimate book/pattern storage space and made me shift
everything from there. He's arranged a good sized filing cabinet so I
can start to store my vintage patterns in a more organised manner but
that task seems a bit overwhelming at present. And he doesn't help -
he gave me four books for my birthday this year.
