2 photography (xmas gift from Eldest Daughter. Who takes care of her momma most excellently)
Understanding Exposure, by Peterson, and Macro Photography by Dietrick. I have read the Exposure book, and it is very good!
3 knitting (xmas gift from my most excellent MIL)
The Knitter's Bible, by Claire Crompton, Fair Isle Sweaters Simplified, by the Bourgeois (which is such a fasicinating story of Philosopher's Wool), and Beautiful Knitting, by Luce Smits.
2 knitting purchased (with an xmas gift card, from the most excellent Wondenful Guy)
The Knitter's Book of Wool, by Ms. Crompton (after looking over her 'bible, and upon the recommendation of Erin), and Ann Budd's Handy Book of Sweater Pattern. After all, I have a sweater quest this year.
1 gifted from Wisest Sister (whose job at JoAnn’s has the most excellent benefits in the world, apparently. For me.) (That didn't make into the photo, I am just now realizing!)
Victorian Lace Today, by Jane Sowerby. With examples of Victorian Lace patterns. Geez. oh. peez.
I might need to expand my knitting section to a second shelf!
I am feeling sated.
For now.
Gah. I love me some books.
Seriously and totally.

You are s-o-o-o-o easy to gift!
And, you have capacity? I am afraid my bookshelves are full...I need to purge. So hard!
Oh, I love to receive books as gifts -- I have always loved Fair Isle patterns, but they look so complicated. You really scored!
I love new books too!! How lucky you are!
LOVE the Knitter's book of yarn. Want the Knitters book of Wool. New books are the best!
Books are the most awesomest gifts. And there's something about having a lot of books around that makes a room peaceful and sparkly with opportunity.
I love books, too, and that 'macro photography' is suddenly on my list!
Great books! I love the Ann Budd one myself!
