I've been wanting to do the log cabin thing since I picked up Mason Dixon, and have 6 skeins of Koigu in my stash. <BR/><BR/>Like I needed another project LOL.

Give a book 50 pages, if you don't like it by then, give it up. Life's too short and there are too many books.<BR/><BR/>I felt the same way about the Vowell books. I loved Assassination Vacation as well. It would be a great book for high school history classes: she makes history so *human*.Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01302290381712739479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710479.post-1159982838464902242006-10-04T13:27:00.000-04:002006-10-04T13:27:00.000-04:00Erm, "sold out by the time I got there."Erm, "sold out by the time I got there."Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07651035210994960810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710479.post-1159982799569304512006-10-04T13:26:00.000-04:002006-10-04T13:26:00.000-04:00Actually, at Md.

Can you believe it? The year before last, and the year before that, I got a bunch. (Well, ahem, $100 worth.) Last year there were people waiting at 8 a.m. for them to open! (They were sold out by the time they got there)<BR/><BR/>Anyway, it's the modular technique for Log Cabin blankets that's described in Mason Dixon Knitting.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07651035210994960810noreply@blogger.com
