My copy of The Gentle Art of Knitting arrived. I also have The Gentle Art of Domesticity and The Gentle Art of Quilting.
I know there was a bit of controversy about the cost of some of the projects (£55 tea cosy), but I’ve turned my thinking around and now view my knitting as entertainment and the yarn as a valid entertainment expense. So, for example, today I bought more sock yarn at a cost of $21.50, but it will take me at least 10 hours to knit the socks. So that is about $2.20 per hour for my entertainment (seems reasonable to me).
Having said (or written) the above, I do understand the other point of view …
Anyway here are some of the projects that caught my eye.
Chunky Cushion – should be a quick knit
and I thought this idea of using tapestry wool for the edges was great.
