So, I had a 15% off coupon and a $25 gift card to Barnes and Noble, along with my regular 10% discount card.
I went to see what I could see, and looked at all the knitting books. I picked up volume 3 of the Vogue Stitchionary, a stitch dictionary of color knitting. (Brag: Regular price 29.95, after my discounts $22, so it cost me nothing and I still have credit on the card.)
This thing rocks my world. I have three or four awesome ideas in my head already. I brought my graph paper to work, and if I'd remembered to bring my colored pencils I could've drawn all night.
Sadly for my knitting, which I DID bring, someone left a pair of Craftsman needlenoses here, along with my paperclip stash. So, uh, I made stuff. Stitch markers. Little twisty things. Whee!
I did get some knitting done:
Progress on sweater body: 19/80
Progress on sweater sleeves: 0/80
