Thanks. I now feel compelled to search Craigslist for books I have no space for but probably can not live without. Because in addition to a wheel, I am also coveting a loom. One that will make great big pieces of cloth and also fold down to be less than 1" thick so I can hide it under the couch with the legos and the missing dpns.
::gasp:: Oh, cool!!! What a haul, congrats, Merry Christmas and yowsa. Ooooh, the ikat book--bet you'll especially love that one, should be some interesting dyeing bits in it!
Score!
Though I'll admit I'm terribly curious about the post-that-would-have-been...maybe another day?

Knittage, Spinnage, Dyage, and now Weavage??? You are going to have NO time left for sleepage. Don't ask how I know this.
I think you should not grouse for at least a week after that kind of crafty book orgasm! Besides, you'll have your nose stuck in them every spare second anyway! On second thought, I can see where children might be a hinderance to this... Just try not to grouse too much.

Nice swag! Is this a new fiber art that you're getting into, or do you already weave (as well as knitting and dyeing like a goddess)? The Maori one looks especially cool. BTW, if you want to do the PIF, I'll knit for you, too ;) (Ooh! And knitting for a fourth can count as a RAK for Sheri's blog -- I'm just rolling in the kindness this week)(snort). Just let me know if you want to play!
Great spy, but I think that makes you an enabeler. I must try to resit a bit before I give in and break down.....
