Yowza. And once upon a time, so few knitting books came out each year, it was possible to buy them all…
Wow. That’s an impressive list and thanks for posting it (and reviewing as many as you possible) all in one place! Great work, Deb.
Carrie K´s last blog post..Photographic Evidence
Glad to help–and don’t forget, I had to LOOK at every single one of those books to compile the list. I’m going to need a waterproof keyboard from all the drool…. But, well, it’s for YOU.
