Yarn Harlot Tidbits Daily!,
By
This review is from: Never Not Knitting! Page-A-Day Calendar 2009 (Original Page a Day Calendars) (Calendar)
I imagine readers of Stephanie Pearl-McPhee's weblog and books will thoroughly Understand how difficult it is to get just that perfect thing for a beloved fiber artist and have to WAIT to give it to them. So of course, I've peeked ahead, and this is going to be a well-loved daily calendar.You read me right: Daily. Calendar. I don't expect it to have hardcover book quality, or even necessarily keepability, the publisher has placed it righteously in that page-a-day calendar production quality. There will be pages ripped out and smacked on this board in the studio here, over the desk(s) at home and at work, and magnet-pasted to the fridge, for a while, and juicy lovely tidbits will be preserved. Which days' delights will my beloved knitteuse choose? I'm not telling you my guesses! Which days will be your favorites?

The Yarn Harlot's Calendar,
By Bonnie Brody "Book Lover and Knitter" (Port St. Lucie, FL) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 100 REVIEWER)
This review is from: Never Not Knitting Page-A-Day Calendar 2010 (2010 Calendar) (Calendar)
I am a fan of Stephane Pearl-McPhee. She makes me laugh, she makes me think and, most importantly, she makes me want to knit more and more without making excuses to anyone for my pleasures. This little calendar is a book of pleasures. It is 365 pages, each with inspirational material from the Yarn Harlot herself. It helps weave a clear path to our inner knitter without feelings of shame or guilt. It shows us how to stand tall and say in unison, "I knit and I'm proud". I cheer the Yarn Harlot on and wish I could speed up time so I'd have more knitting done and so that 2010 would be here and I could start using this calendar. Like other knitters 'I knit therefore I am" and Stephanie Pearl-McPhee puts into words what our knitting needles are too busy to say.

This review is from: Never Not Knitting! Page-A-Day Calendar 2009 (Original Page a Day Calendars) (Calendar)
Never Not Knitting! 2009 CalendarI know its not 2009 yet and YES this is a 2009 calendar but IT IS Stephanie Pearl-McPhee. I have flipped through it and read many of the entries. Very cool stuff and classic Pearl-McPhee. If you are looking for a great Christmas present for the knitter in your life, this is the thing to buy . . . even when 2009 is over, s/he will keep it!
