If you haven't found it yet, please come on over to my new home at www.knititude.com. Yes, I have my own eponymous website at last. All of my patterns, future blog postings, and many of my blog archives are or will be available over there; although I will keep this site up for now, I won't be blogging or posting new patterns here. To keep up with future patterns and blog posts, if you use Bloglines or another blog subscription service, please update your (my?) info accordingly.

Rec reading
Barbara G. Walker: Charted Knitting Designs: A Third Treasury of Knitting Patterns
Adam Haslett: You Are Not a Stranger Here
Most of these stories are decent, but the collection is worth buying just for the first one, "Notes To My Biographer." Wow!Toni Morrison: Beloved
One of my favorites.Beverley Jackson: Splendid Slippers: A Thousand Years of an Erotic Tradition
Fascinating look at an extremely disturbing tradition. One of my great-grandmothers (on my mother's side) had bound feet. I saw a pair of handmade slippers for bound feet in an antique store in Nantucket, and had to have them--the most expensive shoes I own! Anyway, after that I bought this book. As for "erotic," a chapter called "sacrifice at the altar of beauty" explores some of the many notions of sexual attractiveness which require painful bodily alterations or embellishments.Michael A. Dirr: Dirr's Hardy Trees and Shrubs: An Illustrated Encyclopedia
I would love this book even if I lived in a studio apartment (maybe even more so). You always know exactly where Mr. Dirr stands: "... I have never recommended, at least when conscious, a poplar," or "[the oakleaf hydrangea] is one of the most handsome plants that landscape designers have at their disposal." For a picture of the latter, see my photo album.Mark Haddon: The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time (Vintage Contemporaries)
Nicky Epstein: Knitting on the Edge : Ribs * Ruffles * Lace * Fringes * Floral * Points & Picots - The Essential Collection of 350 Decorative Borders
If this doesn't get those creative juices flowing...but why does the author reference a symbol for borders in which "both sides are the same or equally attractive" in the introductory notes, then not use the symbol once? (If she did, I missed it). A minor quibble, to be sure.
