Looking to Swap a Book
Goodies in the mail..... what can I say?
Lots, actually! I pre-ordered these from Amazon.ca and then forgot all
about it so it was a pleasant surprise to open the box.... except that
I read through Socks From the Toe Up and decided I'm not too interested
in keeping it. Rather than send it back I was wondering if anyone wants
to swap something for it? Don't get me wrong - it's a good book, but I
already have a method of toe-up I like and use and there wasn't really
anthing in here I wanted to try. The patterns are really nice but all
in fine gauge (I think they call it "sock yarn"?) so I can't see myself
being tempted to make any of them. If you'd like to swap email me:
GLORIAPATRE at GMAIL dot COM Please don't offer me sock yarn! LOL!!
(No, you can't click to look inside - I heisted the image from Amazon!)
Spin Control is another story! I certainly intend to keep it!! It isn't nearly so indepth as The Intentional Spinner but it is beautifully photographed and there is excellent information on novelty yarns. I'm glad I bought it, even if it isn't a spinning bible!
And speaking of buying books, Interweave has their Hurt Book Sale on right now! That's 30% to 70% OFF!!! some of their best titles! I was actually lucky enough to stumble onto it a day before their email newsletter went out so I got almost first pick! I don't know what's left by now but it's SO worth checking out! Book topics include Crochet, Knitting, Spinning, Weaving, Drawing, Painting, Quilting, Beading, Needlework and Mixed Media - really something for everyone!

So funny, I just got both books myself and did you see the HURT BOOK SALE at Interweave? I'm such an enabler.
