Anyone want to trade?
I got a surprise in the mail today! The Best of Interweave Knits - the much awaited selection of excellent knitting patterns from a dependably readable pattern producer! I absolutely LOVE this book! It has a primer for lace knitting, reading charts and colorwork. Every one of the patterns is something I may even eventually make - the shawls are elegant, the cardigans are sophisticated in detail but fairly easy to knit. There's even a men's vest pattern that looks good!
So why do I want to trade? In a word - alzheimers! I ordered a copy about two weeks ago from Interweave. The same day it arrived I got a parcel with a second copy from Needle Arts Book Shop that I apparently ordered in early July!! So I guess it IS possible to have too much of a good thing!! So if anyone is interested in a trade just let me know. The book retails for $25. If you want to swap roving that's fine - if you want to swap yarn; NO acrylics, angora or mohair please. I prefer wool either super wash or regular or blends where it's the majority partner. If there's something else you have in mind I'm open to suggestions too!
***Just an update! I have a trading partner! I'll post the details when the parcel arrives, OK? Thanks for your inquiries!
