Ooh, wasn’t the sky pretty this morning! I stopped the car at an intersection just to take these pictures–to the amusement of a man walking his dog–and no, there weren’t any other cars in sight. Do you see the little piece of rainbow in there? Right in the middle? So, so pretty!

And then, when I was leaving work, I saw these… Am I the only one who sees the southwest of Great Britain? Cornwall down at the bottom, and Wales coming off the side?

Um, only me, huh? Well, that’s okay–it’s still pretty!

So, thank you for your kind words for Knitting Scholar. The tricky part, at this point? (You know, other than going through my 150 or so books to write reviews for them?) The tricky part is getting my hands on the books that I DON’T OWN. I might be able to find some at the library, but you know as well as I do that their knitting section isn’t usually as, um, current as one would like. And it’s not like I can hang out at a yarn shop with my camera, taking pictures of their books! I honestly think this is going to be the hardest part (grin).

Today’s review, by the way? Knit So Fine by Lisa R. Myers, Laura Grutzeck, and Carol Sulcoski

The self-professed aim for this book, as stated by the authors: “Skinny yarns get a really bad rap. Knitters have somehow gotten the idea that they’re slow, fussy, or old-fashioned. We’re here to prove otherwise. Thin yarns offer a world of possibilities; in fact, they can do anything a thick yarn can do and more–and often, they do it better.” Well! As a fan of not-chunky yarns myself, this is definitely an objective I can get behind!
