Knitting Goddess #9: I am a bargain whore.

I am a bargain whore.

I admit it. I go clothes shopping in January. It's not a good find if it's not on sale. I love going to TJ Maxx. I go to any store, and the first place I look is clearance.

Which is why the Interweave hurt book sale was the coolest thing ever. For $25 including shipping, I got:

The Lace Knitting of Mary Schiffman, Traditional Knitted Lace Shawls and a herbal remedy book. (In case you can't tell, I'm on a lace kick. I hope I don't get so addicted that I do exclusively lace like some people.)

They showed up yesterday and they're in awesome condition for hurt books. Teeny bent corners, that sort of thing. I am quite happy. There's even a lace doily that looks like a turkey in the Schiffman book. How can you go wrong with that?
