You know what I don't love right now? Typepad. I just wrote out the most amazing post ever and it ate it. I swear to you, it was breath-takingly amazing, but now it is gone forever. Mutter, grumble, mutter.
But, I do love This book.
Man, I ordered this about a month agoand I have to say it is just beautiful. The projects are lovely, the pictures are lovely, the instructions are lovely. I love it all. I am currently working on the Poor Poet Mitts from there, which are coming out very nice.
I did go on and on about how wonderful this book is and tell you what projects I was going to do out of it, and more about this project, and blah, blah, blah. But, since The Kid is now up from his nap, here's the short version: If you like lace, buy this book. If you think you might like lace, buy this book. If you would like to try lace, buy this book. If you have a bunch of sock yarn in your stash waiting for projects, buy this book. Basically, if you buy this book, you wont be disappointed.
I bought that book a little while ago. It was on sale and I ended up paying next to nothing for it. I am still searching for the perfect yarn for the cover scarf. It's so pretty! Just flipping through it makes me happy!

I wonder if there was a blogging curse going on yesterday, because the exact same thing happened to me! Arrrrrrrrrgh! I'm going to check out that book now, since I've got an Amazon order going in and I'm looking for a book with plenty of patterns to interest me.
Let's hope the gremlins are gone for the next time!

Rebecca, As I was about to file away "Esther the Eccentric Elephant,"realized needed to thank you for a darling pattern. Roxie, 5 year old, NYC granddaughter loves it, named it "Snorty." Excellent instructions.
Pictures, front & back, on my TypePad blog, www.alittleredhen-- since 2006, ups/downs, still a TP fan. Your site is very attractive; good model for my own re-design. Only suggestion: darker type for comments.
yours, naomi in portland, oregon
