One worth the time and one NOT worth the time

Our library has a book sale 3-4 times a year. I usually pick up cookbooks, childrens books, fiction. Well, they had a Christmas themed table and this little gem was waiting for me. I left the price tag on for your enjoyment...the original Borders price tag was on the back ($14.95). Lots of cute stockings but also some ornaments. Check out these felted ones that would knit up in no time and make cute additions to wrapped gifts. I have some Brown Sheep Lambs Pride in both red and green...will have to give it a whirl. This book falls under the "Worth the Time" part of the heading.


Okay, so I am VERY lucky to have a wonderful library which must have several knitters on the aquisition staff.

I saw this in Borders the other day and then there it was at the library. I was so glad I didn't purchase this book...it is full of UGLY projects which all must take months to complete...An ottoman cover, PUHLEASE. Oh, and how about this lovely wall art that resembles a deer hide being stretched to dry. I think there was one project in the entire book I'd consider...knitted placemats. In case you hadn't figured, this one goes under the "NOT worth the time" heading.
