What is on your list?
Hi everyone,
My mother has asked for a Christmas list from me. I have already added the ball winder/shift that someone suggested to someone looking for a present for his knitting wife a couple of months ago. I also just HAVE to get my hands on Vogue Knitting! But that got me wondering what other kinds of things all you yarn fiends covet? So, what yarn-related gifts are on your list this year? LauraJ |

Hi,
Good question. The holidays will be here before we know it! I have recently gotten out my Incredible Sweater Machine. I have had it for years but had it stored until recently. I like to use it when the kids are at school. Well, the row counter was rusted inside and no longer works.....so....a row counter is now on my list! I would also like to get some pattern books and/or stitch books for crochet. Hope we all get what we want!

Perfect timing for this question as I just emailed my list to my sister!
My list includes double-ended crochet hooks, a knitting board and a portable knitting board. Kelly the Yarn Junkie Pensieve A Harry Potter List for Adults Low Traffic - High Quality http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pensieve |

I have gathered tons of patterns from squares, dishclothes, snipped from
swaether patterns and so on. Nevertheless my wish is a pattern book, a new one , (translated to Norwegian)much similar to The "New Knitting Stitch Library." http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/1579...62#reader-link It is inspirating, allthough I am not sure I don't have the most in it allready!

I thought I wanted Rosewood needles; aren't they pretty, but found out some dye
the yarn as they rub through it. That is not good. Guess I will stick with my Bernat set in a case. They have lasted all these many years. A pretty needles in case would be my choice if I find one. |

LauraJ Oh gosh...the only yarn-related gift I'd dare ask for is another closet built onto the house to hold my stash and WIPs!! But...if I ever reform, I'd like a swift and ball-winder too!! |

But that got me wondering what other kinds of things all you yarn fiends covet? I've just acquired four (well, three and one on the way) of the Vogue Knitting on the Go books and am seized with an urge to collect the set. So those are on the list. I've also had this pattern on my list for a while: http://www.onceuponapattern.com//p420.html And the perpetual calendar with a different stitch for each day (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...4325?vi=glance) Crochet for Dummies is on their, and the Stitch 'n' Bitch books, and a couple of other knitting-related (but not pattern) books; so, basically, books. I guess I'd quite like some of the self-patterning sock yarn that I'll never justify buying for myself, too, but that probably wouldn't go on a list I'd actually show to people. Actually, I still feel kind of self-conscious about showing people my wishlist; but because people sometimes ask me for a list, I have one prepared that can be seen if they ask.

Hi Kirsten,
You may also want to add the Knitting a Day Calendar too. Next year 2006 there will also be a crochet version. Now, on my list is more size G and I size crochet hooks from Susan Bates. I just broke one the other night. I had used that one for about three to five years and it finally snapped. Hugs, Nora |

Addi turbo circulars. Katherine |
