More Book Holders
Posted by limedragon | Filed under books
(Updated October 2007)
I’m glad the book holder reviews have already been helpful to some people. I decided to write up my experiences with the different holders I tried because it isn’t always possible to tell from looking at a picture at a website if something will work the way you want. During the searching process, [...]

Book Holders: The BookGem
Posted by limedragon | Filed under books
(Bibliophiles may want to check out Kimbooktu, a blog about book gadgets and news; thanks Amy for sharing the link in yesterday’s post! Also in related news, Chris just posted a free felted bookweight pattern. Neat!)
Everything about the BookGem seemed to be what I was looking for in a hands-free book holder: it was [...]

Reviews From the Stacks
Posted by limedragon | Filed under books
I’m glad I signed up for this challenge, it was good to take books off my shelves to read, instead of getting new ones from the library or store. These reviews are listed in reading order. :)

A quick note to my dear readers, I’m declaring this week “Book Week” because there will be a series of bookish posts. While these posts won’t be knitting-oriented, they might still be of some interest, so stop by and check them out. Next week, this blog will return to the regular knitterly content.
I love to [...]

Posted by limedragon | Filed under books, knitting, refrigerator dishes

SRP Penultimate Update
Posted by limedragon | Filed under books, knitting
