books
There are so many beautiful, inspiring and, indeed, useful books, I have attempted to categorize them under the headings below. Still, some books are featured in several categories. Better that than miss them altogether. Er... yes. I own them all unless otherwise stated. Running the bookstore helps me feed my knitting book habit.

beginners and intermediate

advanced
