Entry 002 - Knitting books!!!
Feb. 4th, 2023 10:09 pmhello!
I recently took a trip with my parents to some used book stores! There's not many super close to me, but we took a day trip to a few towns over.
I got 4 from one store plus an additional/unrelated item for a total of $16.90!! what a deal! and their selection was amazing for a used book store! they're usually a hit for me with nonfiction so go figure :)
Then from another store, I found a few unrelated books and 2 knitting books. The books were just general guides/pattern books. Tbh I was less impressed there, and the section was very poorly sorted (seemed like it had not been sorted by an employee in some time. my mother had a major issue with this as someone who used to work for a major bookstore chain, but I wasn't super bugged by it)
here are the titles I've read from so far and find helpful/interesting/otherwise noteworthy (with stars next to the especially inspiring ones):
- The Joy of Knitting Companion: A Knitters Handbook by Lisa R. Myers
- Knitting for your Home: Afghans Pillows, and Accents by Nicky Epstein
- ☆ Alterknits by Leigh Radford ☆
- ☆ Yarn Bombing by Mandy Moore and Leanne Prain ☆
Thanks for tuning in!
