I just ordered a copy of Charted Knitting Designs: A Third Treasury of Knitting Patterns by Barbara G. Walker. I have been eyeing it for a month now and there was someone who had a copy in an Amazon.com zShop and I bought it.

I’m excited about it. I recall someone adding the spider from the book to a Rogue and it looked pretty cool. It isn’t exactly something for me, but it might be fun on something else.

I also bought a book of knitting stitches and a copy of the summer issue of Interweave Knits. I didn’t like the patterns in the fall issue, but there were enough in the summer issue that it was a worthwhile purchase. I really like the knitting stitches book beause it goes into more detail than the ones I currently have and it has more advanced stitch patterns.

I haven’t done much of anything in terms of knitting due to my elbow. Hopefully it will be better by the time I get the book!
