Review: The Weaver’s Idea Book

This is a tricky one for me, because while I have a few books on weaving and am intrigued, curious, awestruck, and tempted by the things weavers can do ... I don't actually weave myself. I'm like the star-struck kid who devours Variety and other movie magazines but has never gone to Hollywood.

  • Come over to my knitting blog--there's a contest for my 2010th post, and you could win a GREAT knitting book! #
  • I met Joanne Johnson (author of Phoebe's Sweater) today. She's as nice as her book! #
  • A knitter's dog needs your help--and all you need to do is buy this adorable little sweater design from the woman behind the February Lady Sweater.

  • There's a new logo up on the main page ... what do you think? We went from this: To this: #
  • Don't ask me how, but Wordpress completely ate the book review for "Aran Sweater Design" I published last week.

It doesn't. Sorry about that! #
