Anxiously, I ran into the house. I ripped into the package, as if an invitation to the white house awaited me behind the flap on the envelope. It was my book. My new, book.

I’m sure all of you are wondering, “Just how many books can she own?”

This may very well be one of the last, as I cannot see a need for any other…ok, that’s until my EZ arrives. Then I’m officially done buying books (at least until Nicky Epstein comes out with a new one.)

At any rate, I was a little disappointed with the condition of the book initially. The covers are fine, but the pages are yellow and brown in spots. I then opened the book to just the information I needed to complete my current project. I experienced momentary brain freeze, could not figure out how to calculate how many rows I need to decrease on to taper my sleeves.

As I was reading a little index card fell out, onto the floor. I picked it up and glanced at the previous owners knitting notes and measurements. Instantly, this used book turned into a family treasure that had been passed on to me from a fellow knitter.

The book’s age spots make this book even more valuable.

As for a review of the content - I haven’t had or used the book long enough to give a valid assessment, but judging from the first few pages that I’ve scanned, I’d venture to say that it’s certainly a keeper!

Check back later for a thorough review.
