Hello all - we'll also be voting during our October meeting.
For Decemeber we will read a children's book on knitting together outloud so no "pre-reading" is necessary.
Here are the three contenders for December:
~Knitting Nell by Julie Jersild Roth
~Martha Moth Makes Socks by Cambria Evans
~Derek, the Knitting Dinosaur by Mary Blackwood

For January: A knitting novel (one of these three)
~Knitting by Anne Bartlett
~The Shop on Blossom Street by Debbie Macomber
~Died in the Wool by Mary Kruger

For February: Non-fiction (one of these three)
~The natural knitter : how to choose, use, and knit natural fibers from alpaca to yak by Barbara Albright
~Knitting rules! by Stephanie Pearl-McPhee
~The joy of knitting : texture, color, design, and the global knitting circle by Lisa R. Myers

There is more about each book in the library catalog for those who are interested.
See you Tuesday!
