Things I Learned from Knitting whether I wanted to or not by Stephanie Pearl-McPhee.
Another great book by the Yarn Harlot. Forty-five short essays about knitting. What could be better? (Ans: 50 essays!)
4.5 stars. Another book I should own. Actually, I think I do own it, but I couldn't find it, so I got it from the library this time. I pretty sure this is the book I bought when I got to see her at the Tattered Cover a while back.

Book #34
At Knit's End, Meditations for Women Who Knit Too Much by Stephanie Pearl-McPhee.
A great book by The Yarn Harlot. It was hard to put down, but you really need to sometimes to digest and contemplate each short essay. I really must buy a copy of this to keep on my nightstand.
I'm guessing non-knitters wouldn't care for this, but who cares. It's a 5-star book full of wooly goodness.

Book #33
The Penny Pinchers Club by Sarah Strohmeyer.
This is the first book I've read by Ms. Strohmeyer. I enjoyed it very much, although it took me some time to finish it. There was nothing wrong with the book, I was just distracted by knitting and not much in a reading mood for the last month or so. I loved that every time I picked up this book, I was immediately plunged back into the story and hadn't forgotten any of the main characters or what was going on with them.
I give this book 4 stars and I look forward to reading more books by this author.

Book #32
Yarn Harlot, the Secret Life of a Knitter by Stephanie Pearl-McPhee.
Great book of humorous knitting stories. I think this is my favorite SPM book. Love "The Green Afghan" and the fiber-stealin' squirrel stories. Enjoyable for any knitter.
Knitters can give this book an extra star!
