Knitting Rules!: The Yarn Harlot's Bag of Knitting Tricks by Stephanie Pearl-McPhee
Another knitting book to guide me on my yarniful journey.
This one actually had a lot of great tips and hints that I haven't learned yet. I have wondered how to determine what number of stitches to cast on for a hat with no pattern. I wrote down a lot of notes (how to determine scarf length, hat size, sock size, etc.) and copied out a lot of her basic patterns.
Although I did pick this up from the library (I like to test drive books first) I've added it to my wishlist to get. I think it will be a pretty valuable reference for my knitting.
