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 Padishar Creel |

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. :-) VP |

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???? |

There is always a queue to sleep on top of the nightstore heater or right in front of the fire. I too collect books and have just started expanding the Knitting area of a already full bookcase. 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. VP |
