New Book: Sock Club

Sock Club: Join the Knitting Adventure  $29.95
This book consists of 23 patterns from private micro yarn dyers' sock clubs -  so basicalls these are patterns that you would only have had access to if you were a paying member of the club. You get a great selection of niiiiiiice sock patterns in a variety of styles and yarns. I'm not a sock knitter but there are some very pretty lace, cables and ribs for your tender tootsies! There are a few simpler patterns, but this book is really geared towards the technical sock knitter.

New Books: Nature's Wraptutre

Nature's Wraptutre: Contemporary Knitted Shawls - $29.95
This is a great little book! Shawls are a great medium sized project but the patterns are frequently very involved and call for super-fine yarns. Not this book, no cobwebs here! There is a variety of shalws & wraps and they are all straightforward and knitted in yarns substantially thicker than the normal gossamer. There are some lace stitches and cables involved in some of the projects but none are complicated and all are accessible to lace/cable novices. Finally, a shawl book for the rest of us! :-)
