a little collection
Tuesday, August 17, 2010Have you seen this book? Or "encyclopedia of books" I should say?
The Stitch Collection by Debbie O'Neill is the perfect collection consisting of five mini books. Each book is small enough (and light enough!) to be carried around in your knitting bag.
I love how it is packaged and laid out, in an organized easy to find manor. It is a set of five mini books of the stitches themselves, designed to help you choose the best stitch pattern for a particular project. Each individual stitch pattern (225 total) is ranked according to its level of difficulty and amount of drape. It basically consolidates a bunch of valuable information into a simple little book. I love that!

ReplyDeleteYour blog is my favorite. I do have a question for you. Do you have a stash of yarn or do you purchase as needed? It seems as though when you are ready for a new project, you are just purchasing it. I believe I have a stash problem and therefore, do not have the right amount for particular projects. I should be more prudent.
ReplyDeleteAnyway. I love your blog. Keep inspiring us.
Such a clever idea. I collect stitch dictionaries, but am always scared of carrying them around with me.
ReplyDeleteI would love to have one!!! It looks so cool!!. Probably they also want to come to Spain ;-)
ReplyDeleteThat looks so HANDY! Thanks :)
