These are my latest finds. I am SO triumphant over the Barbara Walker book---sorry old lady who was also looking at the knitting books, this is MINE! I am lerving also the Last Minute Knitted Gifts, and Folk Bags. Which is odd, since I'm not a bag person.I officially counted my knitting books, and had a picture, which was crappy. I have 34 books, which are the following
Kaffe's Classics
The Handknitters Design Book
Hip Knits

I also have four Vogue Knitting magazines, including two older issues with FUGLY patterns, three Interweave Knits, 3 Knitter's, and a stack of old and UGLY leaflets, oh, and a magazine called Knitting Elegance with some truly ugly patterns by Amy Blatt.
My queue at Ravelry is bursting. After this post is finished, I'm updating my Limenviolet profile at Chorewars. I have 1/2 Jaywalker on the needles that needs only the toe finished, and a plain vanilla sock that needs its heel turned. I found my lost size 2 DPNs.
I know that I will be getting at least two more books for my birthday. There's birthday money burning a hole in my pocket right now.
When did knitting take over my life?
PS. I want to learn to crochet, too.

ooh, you'll like crocheting. Try a Klutz book to learn how, they have the easiest patterns and the best directions. Nice collection! This is why we have ravelry: to stay organized and to collaborate so our projects turn out even better!
Hi Babs! Love your knitting book collection. Just wanted to let you know that I finally got my lazy ass to the post office and mailed off your contest prize. I also wrote you a nice note .... it's sitting on my kitchen table because I forgot to throw it in the package with the yarn and other stuff. In my next life I'm coming back as a more organized person.
