One more quilt square, and ZOMG reprint!
I have one more square done for the Quilt Square Thing. Even having finished the ^2 blanket and five quilt square thingys, I still haven't made much of a dent in the Wool-Ease. It all fits in a very large tote bag now, though, which is a step in the right direction!
In other news, ZOMG! They're reprinting Alice Starmore's Book of Fair Isle Knitting!! I don't even do Fair Isle, and I know what a big deal that is. This book is basically legendary and has been out of print forever. People are really hoping that, with the huge positive response this is already getting, they'll also decide to reprint some of her other very hard-to-find books, such as Aran Knitting, which goes for $200 used if you can find it (seriously). I think Fair Isle was going for close to that before the reprint was announced. I'm tempted to preorder (even though, as I said, I don't do Fair Isle!) just to make sure I can get a copy when it comes out.
The one Alice Starmore book I do have is The Celtic Collection, and I've not yet knit anything from it, though I did buy yarn for something out of it. The only reason I haven't actually knit it up is because it's a fingering-weight project that, to get gauge, I need to do on 2mm needles. And it's a sweater. On the bright side, having put it off for a few years means I've gone down two sweater sizes, so woohoo! Less knitting FTW! :D (I am planning on starting that project this year.)
Reprint yay! I won't be getting it (not interested), but I suppose it does bode well for reprints of other things? Although I've forgotten the exact reasons for the copyright drama on her books, so maybe not.
There is ONE copy of Aran Knitting in my library system (about 50 libraries) -- first time I checked there were two, but one must've been "lost." They have noooo idea what they have D:
