Books I want to "read"

2009-05-01T20:27:00.000-07:00

Here is a short list of books that I'd like to "read". I got this list from Kelly Petkin of Knit Picks from her podcast #76 Knitting in Literature

Anne MacDonald
No Idle Hands: The Social History of American Knitting

Maggie Sefton
Knit One, Kill Two
Needled To Death
A Deadly Yarn
A Killer Stitch
Dyer Consequences
And Fleece Navidad

Monica Ferris
Knitting Bones
Sins and Needles
A Murderous Yarn
Unraveled Sleeve
Hanging By A Thread

Mary Kruger
Died in the Wool
Knit Fast, Die Young

Sally Goldenbaum
Death by Cashmere
Patterns in the Sand

Elizabeth Lenhard
Chicks with Sticks (It’s a Purl Thing)
Chicks with Sticks (Knit Two Together)
Chicks with Sticks (KnitWise)

Kate Jacobs
The Friday Night Knitting Club
Knit Two

Ann Hood
The Knitting Circle

Beth Pattillo
The Sweetgum Knit Lit Society

If you've read over my list and found that I may be missing a biggie - I've already "read" them. They are:

Debbie Macomber
The Shop on Blossom Street
A Good Yarn
Back on Blossom Street
Twenty Wishes - currently "reading" to :)

When I say "read" I mean listen to. I can't read and knit at the same time so listening to audio books while I knit is the very next best thing!

DIVSION 3 BABY! YAH!!!

It's official! I'm in!

Division 3 was FINALLY posted this morning and my name was listed! WOO HOO!!!!

I also got my 3 yarn orders yesterday and spent most of last night photographing them and winding them . . . and photographing them again . . . that is until my camera's battery died :(. I'll post the pics as soon as I can.

Sign Up's!

Well, today is the day. . . the day to sign up for Sock Madness 3. I meant to stay up last night so that I could send my registration in at 12:01 AM EST but I was just way too tired and actually went to be before 10:00 pm! On a Saturday night, for me that is unheard of! So today I thought about it a few times that it was March 1st and that I needed to send my registration email in but - all those times that I actually remembered I was no where near a computer. I'm not fancy enough to be able to do it from my cell so I had to wait until I got to a computer to do it.

Well, I did. I sent in my info so now it's a wait and see game to find out IF I got in. I'm sure that I did but they won't post the list of groups for a few days (I hope) but it might be a week or more.

I've joined the Flickr group for SM3 and also the group on Ravelry. I'm enjoying reading all the posts and the excitement we are all having.

Now I need to go through my stash as meager as it is to see what I have that I might be able to use and make a list of what I might need to buy. Ooooo . . . yarn shopping!!!!!
