A few new things

I ordered a few things recently.  It started with a movie and ended up like this:

 A friend pointed out this book.  I hadn't been looking much lately at books, but this one intrigued me.  So often, when I wanted to play lace and games with a design, I would stop because I didn't want to go through the effort of thinking a stitch design through. Plus I just like stitch dictionaries.  To really understand if the book is going to be what I hope it is, it is going to need to be put to use on a project though I am pretty impressed with the read through I gave it.

And then, this.  I have been interested in a dictionary of ons and offs for a while.  There were two that came out close together a few years ago and I think either would be a really great addition to a knitting library.

My choice was this one and I am very pleased.  I know a few of them, but there are so many new to me casts on in here that I think I am going to look forward to playing with them.

I really was just going to buy a movie.  But if you give a girl a movie...

she needs something to knit with it.
