All books, all the time...(Hi, my name is Angie and I have not bought yarn for three weeks)

Since I returned from my trip to San Francisco/Petaluma on June 9th on a self-imposed yarn diet (serious stash inhancement went on while I was there), I immediately set to work ordering books, knitting books to be precise since apparently I am now a Knitter as well as a crocheter. I got Charmed Knits, The Encyclopedia of Knitting and Wrapped in Comfort from Amazon and Knitting in Plain English and Principles of Knitting from Ebay...stalking ebay for that last book was fun and I got a great deal. I suppose this large amount of books would not be so bad, had I not bought one or two knitting books a week for the last 6 weeks prior to my trip. So, now I am on a yarn diet and a knitting book diet (length of time as yet undetermined).

I promise I will get the picture posting thing worked out soon so you can all see my yarn porn, er, stash, that I picked up (hint: there is a bit of sock yarn in it). I also need to put up the pics of my HMB comfortghans that I have completed (I just sent the OPH one out today). I have three more squares to edge on the one for a friend of mine's sister in law who lost her father and then I can join them and edge it and then send it out too. Once I get that done, I will be working on finishing the second sock of my first pair and working on the first sock of my second pair.

Ah poor thing. I bet your getting depressed. Now you should be on a book diet for a few weeks too. Yes I said a few weeks..... Just think of all the money you could save if you went another 3 weeks or so. Then you could go on a BIG SHOPPING SPREE.....Yep you should do that.

Hugs,

I'm completely in love with the Charmed Knits book. And I really want to try one of Alison's shawls.
