early Christmast gift......:=))

I saw the "Twisted sisters sock workbook at a friends house, and loved it
instandly. When I went to the library to put my name down for it, I was
told that there were about 14 people waiting in line for it. I found that
a great excuse to go and buy it. Lunne Vogel's book was worth putting the
money down for it. what a gem. it even has toe socks in there as well.
I will be dyeing and spinning and knitting socks in the new year.

The other book that I am borowing from a friend is The Knitting Sutra, by
Susan Gordon Lydon. I have only read about three pages, but it is very
intresting and I thought if anyone was looking for a good gift for a
knitter, this may be a great gift.

I have this book Els, I think, not sure, that I got it from Slinky, anyway
it is terrific, I love the spot dyeing instructions on it too. Now there
is another book to look out for, same sort of price and size..called...Folk
Bags....it's great..alot of them are knitted and felted.

Cheers...Cher

I've had this book for several years; it's great. If anyone does decide to
give it as a gift, you may want to include a book weight. I've yet to be
able to read The Knitting Sutra without wanting to knit at the same time.

I think starting out with dyeing and spinning the yarn it gets you all
roaring to go on the knitting. Some books are also well written and the
layout of this book is also very good.

Yes it does Cher, and I have itchy fingers wanting to try, but it will be
after the Christmas holidays.

I did get your E-mail and the JPG, and will reply to it tonight after supper.
