~Derek, the Knitting Dinosaur by Mary Blackwood

For January: A knitting novel (one of these three)
~Knitting by Anne Bartlett

~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
