SOB STORY



I know I don't normally post on Friday but I just had to share my misery. I posted about getting a few knitting books together to sell at the used bookstore. DH took in about 10-15 and made $35. One of those books was "Color in Spinning" by Deb Menz. I found out today that it is out of print and currently selling on Bookfinder for $150-$190. sigh All this work I'm doing to write and advertise a booklet to make money for our rabbit rescue and I could have just sold one book I didn't want anyway. sigh Oh well I like the used bookstore so I can think of it as my way of helping them out as well.



The good news is that I'm working on some fun Debbie Bliss baby items and next week I should have some photos and info on intarsia, duplicate stitch and possibly the Philosopher's Wool method of weaving in every other stitch. I'm going to try this method in a particular situation where the floats will be too long and the item is knit in the round. One of these days I really have to learn intarsia in the round.



And check prices on books before I take them to the bookstore.
