p.s Gina- check your local library for knitting books! you can order out books from another library for free if your local one dosn't have a particular title (look at titles on the computer at the library system's website). You can often check out and renew a book long enough to finnish a project or just use it to see if it's a book worth investing in eventually. I've been saved loads of money this way! :)

I just got the new Essential Stitch Collection by Lesley Stanfield and it's the best! beautiful clear photos, charts and written instructions, and has a fold-out abbreviations chart. It's hardcover, it's neatly compact and very attractive on the shelf. Any book by Veronik Avery is a great buy. Her designs truly are classic but also flattering and current. Debbie Bliss's baby books are the only ones I own. Twinkle's Town and Country knits by Wenlan Chia is full of cool, unique, fun pieces. I would never want to live without IK....you should immortalize some of your fabulous patterns in another "best of" book! you could "plog" ;) asking KD readers which patterns to include!

I was frustrated to find that the shipping on the books I wanted was the price of another book. I'm currently underemployed and money is really tight. The books look really great--but I guess I'll have to wait.

I agree! I have cables & arans and the lace & eyelets. I just ordered knit & purl.
