Knit One Below: One Stitch, Many Fabrics
Elise Duvekot
Xrx Books
, 2008
The bright idea behind this guide is to build an entire collection around one simple stitch that creates many intriguing effects. Shown in knitting instructions as "k1b" (knit 1 below), the technique involves knitting into the stitch one row below the stitch on the needle with either a knit or a purl stitch. The result is an easy-to-knit fabric with wonderful drape and flexibility that looks equally good on both sides. The color effects possible ...

Fluckey the `Barb'arian
After reading this outstanding WWII combat submarine book, I now have a new war hero, and he is the late Admiral Eugene B. Fluckey, recipient of four Navy Crosses and the Medal of Honor as the commanding officer of the "Barb" in five combat patrols in the Pacific. Even though this book was my first submarine book, I cannot imagine how any other book can be a better, more entertaining, and more ...

Anna had wanted to move in to an English household to be a maid. Anna's nanny ...

A Behind the Scenes Look ...Funny & Surprising!
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It is written in a very relaxed and friendly way. The author brings you in to his world and easily shares his tales with you. From beginning to end this book will astonish you with the many details that go in to the cruising industry. You will never be able to look at having a meal on a cruise the same way again. The author does a great job of giving you ...

Fifty Degrees Below
Amazing book. Seems to have fairly good science and lots of food for thought. The plot is a bit contrived, but as a whole is engrossing and works together.

Loved this book!
This is my first book to read of Karen Harper. I loved it! It had just the right amount of suspense. It had just the right number of characters and enough information about each character to get to know them enough. Easy to follow. I also like the fact that she didn't put anyt sex scenes in the book - it gave it so much more class. I love stories about the beach, water, Florida, etc., and I ...

Nymph Fishing Rivers and Streams
This is one of the best organized, most comprehensive books on flying fishing that I have ever read. It rates with the many books by Dave Huhes for clarity and depth of explanation. The author's sections on each of the insects will remain as my primary reference sources for years to come. I would be excited for a second volume devoted to dry fly fishing.

Another superb mystery from Kathy Emerson
This novel continues the author's earlier works and is similar in style and content. There are two reasons for her novels, the first being to write excellent mysteries and the second to inform the reader of life in the Elizabethan age. This novel keeps the reader guessing until the end without any last-minute revelations that let the reader down. It shows how Lady Appleton uses her intuition and ...

High Quality, Low Thrills
This is the thirteenth set of plastic miniatures released in the D&D Miniatures line, and has the loose theme of "things you might find in a dungeon." Visually, this set's packaging looks a lot like the previous Unhallowed set, to the point I had to doublecheck I hadn't ordered one of those accidentally. In earlier editions of the miniatures line, there were reports of boxes being steamed open ...

Our favorite book
My 3 ½-year-old son loves Fireman Small. He identifies with the fireman's diminutive stature and is entertained by the shenanigans of the silly animals he rescues. We both think Fireman Small Fire Down Below! is the best book ever. The illustrations are deceptively simple. From my son's point-of-view they are easy to understand and lively. I find them witty, complex, and beautifully composed. The ...

Superb
This book works at every level, as a murder mystery, as a tale of sexual obsession, and as a novel about complex and vividly drawn characters who are impossible not to care about. It works in the large, with the plot unfolding at exactly the right pace to keep you hooked, and in the small, where nearly every paragraph is a minor work of art. This book sat unread on my shelf for ten ...
