Backstory
- Julie
- Pennsylvania, United States
- I'm currently a stay at home mother, freelance writing on my off time, wondering how I became part of the ten thousand year old tradition of raising the kids while creating textiles. I grew up in NE Ohio dairy country, married a sailor, lived in Hawaii ten years, lived in SC for five years, then moved back to culture shock and confusion. Nothing but good times ahead.

I would love that! I'm not a big book buyer (try not to faint, dude, deep breaths) so when I do purchase I want something that meets my needs--so a list would rock my small world!
Yes, Please!!! I need all the help I can get...
I'm slowly building a knitting library, but hints on what books to look for would be wonderful
Yes, definitely! I love your book reviews and lists would be great.

As a fairly new knitter, I don't have much (read NONE) of a library. I'd LOVE to have lists like that. Maybe someday I could even contribute a few rave faves.
What category would Vogue Knitting go in? What to knit if you're on crack?
Yes, that's a good idea.
would love to hear what you like but all in one area. I read your book reviews and think "I'm gonna have to get me that one soon" but then forget by the time I go to order.
i second what Catie said. If I can't afford to buy something cool that you've reviewed at the time, i forget. Links please!
Yes. Books are good. Lists are good. The two together are excellent.
Lessee...you do the work and the evaluation, and I get to play with the computer...
There is no downside...
I could add a list of my helpful/favorite books if needed. Not that I have a huge library. But I am a self-taught by books, knitter. LOL!
That would be great! I recently did a search of your blog after scoring several books at a library book sale. I had to find out if they were any good, after all.
