A Book Report


One of the fun things about being out of town for a week is the fun of a large mail haul.

I unloaded the Amazon book order which is part of the Christmas shopping and I got sidetracked with this 'present' for me. 

Shamelessly I enjoyed an hour of being sure this book was a keeper........it is.  I love the way it has color pictures of the same weave in different color combinations-all one color warp, two color warp, change the weft just a little and voila-all new results!  This has begrudgingly gone into the pile of gifts and I will not look at it until ......Dec 25, I think!

    You will love that book! I use it in my workshops to help students come up with a simple design that isn't as boring as 2/2 twill or tabby. And I have drooled over it many times, and have Post-Its marking pages of patterns I want to try.

    Really you put it away until Christmas Day!!! You are a better woman than I would be, they could get it out of my hands.

    That's one of my favorite books. I actually take it on the bus and put little Post-It's on the pages with a pattern I want to try. (And, that's just about on every page!)

    Your mail after vacation is much more interesting than mine!!!

    I haven't seen that book - and didn't realize it was in color. That's cool!

    For a weaver it looks as good as Barbara Walker's guides for knitters!
