Fall Knitting is near...

“Properly practiced, knitting soothes the troubled spirit, and it doesn't hurt the untroubled spirit either.” 

― Elizabeth Zimmermann

Can you believe how quickly the summer has gone?  It's almost time for Autumn knitting fever and here's a roundup of books to put you in the mood for endless hours of all things knitting.

Knitting Ephemera for your knitty mind, musing and amusement.

Adventure abounds with Knitlandia: A Knitter Sees the World

I Dream of Yarn because I do....and color too.

Happy knitting, reading and coloring, everyone,

Margaret

Every bit of itty bitty goodness...

As a child, I was always intrigued by tiny toys, dolls, and knick knacks.  In a world that encourages everyone to "go big" it's wonderful to see another book, by Anna Hrachovec, Teeny-Tiny Mochimochi: More Than 40 Itty-Bitty Minis to Knit, Wear, and Give.  You may know Anna from her blog.  The book has over 40 projects that are not only teeny tiny, but perfect for destashing and creating a little whimsey for your day or cheer up your friends.  The book is available  in paperback and as a Kindle download.

You might also enjoy Knitting Mochimochi: 20 Super-Cute Strange Designs for Knitted Amigurumi, also by Anna, and available in both paperback and as a Kindle download.

Both books would make excellent gifts for the giving season.


Have a happy teeny tiny Tuesday...
Margaret

Stitchfest

Crochet Covered Girly Grower Soap

I love it when one of my fav stores features a stitchfest.  Check out the celebration of knitting and crochet at Anthropologie here.

Find the stitchfest in your life and celebrate!  Break your stitches out of the project bag and show them off.  Discover stitches in places you haven't seen them before.
