More L.M. Montgomery--Anne's House of Dreams and Chronicles of Avonlea, plus Nicky Epstein's Knitting Over The Edge which may cause me to spend a ridiculous amount of money making a lovely giant full-length coat.

I haven't read Knitting on the Edge, which may have better edge patterns, because I wasn't terribly impressed with many of the ones in ( Read more... )

Book 9 - The Friday Night Knitting Club by Kate Jacobs. I picked this book up on holidays solely because it's about a knitting club, and I am a knitter. It's chick lit, which I'm not really a fan of.

Having said that, it was mostly enjoyable. I cried at the sad bit, so I did get involved with the characters. I may even read it again. But really, it ( Read more... )

Newbie here. I'm a film student at Boston University and an avid reader. I recently decided to motivate my friends to do some more reading by forming my own book club. I'm going to pick the first book this week (I'm sort of leaning towards Tender is the Night). So through a series of events I came upon this group and decided to join, although I ( Read more... )

10 - Chicks With Sticks (It's A Purl Thing) by Elizabeth Lenhard. I have a penchant for both YA books and fiction books centered around knitting, so of course I couldn't resist this one. It's a cute enough story about four girls who become friends through knitting. It's very light reading and a lot of the language and references make the book feel ( Read more... )
