An aspirational book

[nwhiker]

Yesterday, I bought a book. It's an aspirational book. I paid full price for it! (I wanted to support the craft store more than I wanted to save $15.)

I first saw it at the craft store a few months back and I knew it was over my head, but OMG, the projects in it! WANT.

So I finally got it. I don't often buy paper books, and when I do, it's almost always cookbooks. This is a knitting book. I have gotten better at "plain" knitting, but haven't (at least since the last time I did any knitting, when I was living in France decades ago) made anything.

This is the book: Knitting the National Parks.

It's for making beanies inspired by various parks and so many of the designs are clever and gorgeous. I want.

My goal for the year is to improve my knitting to the point where I can actually make one of this.

Gonna start a knitting tag! 😁
