Score!

I managed to get some of the books I wanted from the Interweave "Hurt Book" sale. Basically, brand new with some minor scuffs or nicks, a folded page, or a shop mark. All of them were at least 50% off.

I got:

Hands on Rigid Heddle Weaving
Hands on Spinning
Colorworks - Deb Menz
A History of Hand Knitting

Yaaay! Nothing like getting four really cool books for a little less than you would have paid for two!

Oh, cool! That last one is awesome, I got to read it a few years ago. Richard Rutt must have been a pretty neat guy.

Do you spin or weave already? Let us know if those books are any good, I've got a rigid heddle loom laying around that I have NO idea what to do with...EBay purchase from seven years ago!

Yeah, I saw it a few years ago at an SCA event and I've been eyeing a copy ever since. I can't wait to have it in my collection!

I do both, actually. I learned to spin before I even learned to knit, and only really learned to knit because I wanted to have some way to use up my yarn! I do mostly tapestries on my rigid heddle, but I love it to bits.
