Welcome to my embryo blog on knitting, reading and camping





Interested in any of these topics? please feel free to jump in.
I plan to post lists of books that are not only knitting titles but current books I am reading, post pictures of my knitting projects and popup camping expeditions.

thanks for reading.

thanks bibliocat!

I was taught to knit as a child, but not how to read patterns, or know what stitches I was doing..
fast forward MANY years...
A book called "Knitting basics : all you need to know to take up your needles and get knitting" by Betty Barnden, came in as a new book at the library. I decided that it was such a good explanation of things that I would buy it.. IT cracked the CODE on knitting explanations for me.

I had been knitting tube socks the last few years... not attempting heels since a first attempt that ended up with 3 heels! lol
