This week I bring you two knitting books of a distinctly different breed. They provide no glossy shots of slender models on the Scottish moors, nor do they give any design schematics or knitting instructions.

Rather, they offer the chance to immerse yourself in the history and minds of knitters. The first approaches knitting from a historical perspective, and the second from a deeply spiritual. Both offer a marvelous sense of comfort and connectedness with knitters past and present.

Extra Giveaways!

At the end of this month I'll announce the winner of this month's newsletter subscriber drawing, a $50 gift certificate from eKnitting.com.

But that's not all! I'll also pick four lucky winners to receive copies of "Christmas Stockings: 18 Holiday Treasures to Knit," from Interweave Press.
