And I find it's grown a bit over the past 12 months - I've added another half a shelf (give or take a bit). I'm not sure if that's because there are a lot more knitting books (that I want to buy) being released, or if it's because I discovered Kinokuniya has a great crafting books section, or if it's because (as my mum would say) my eyes are bigger than my belly.
I suspect it's a combination of each of those reasons.
Now don't ask me how many of these books I've knitted something from - but I have queued a lot of patterns (and I may have a lot of yarn allocated for these projects too, but shhh don't tell)!!

My knitting books also have bits of paper sticking out of them. I wonder what it can mean?
btw if you would like another one, i have one to give away. i will post details later tonight
one of the things I love best about visiting you is the library. I love it.
This does make you a hard person to buy books for though!
You must take me to that shop some day.
the important thing is that they are there if you need them - not whether you have knitted from them!
at least, that's what I keep telling myself as the collection grows!
oh, I'm a dill - in case you're wondering the comment above is from me - I forgot to change users, d'oh!
There are so many great books, aren't there? I'm tempted by a couple now... and knitpicks has a 40 percent off sale that ends today. I should just succumb...
I just recently put all my knitting books together and was shocked at how many I've acquired but I haven't got anything on you so I feel free to buy some more now :o)
my knitting library is very scary, loading them all into Ravelry made me nearly faint...the good dollar value and amazon put paid to that....not any more though, no CC, shitty $$..but theres so many good ones coming out....
BUT, having said that, how have you found Maon-Dixon the 2nd? Would you mind reviewing it? I am very tempted to orde it from Booktopia, but want to know if it's really, really worth it.
Cheers!
I realized last night I need another shelf or at least a half because I have stuffed the books in sideways and all over the place. Not counting the binders with the patterns sticking out.
Nice library. Mine is very small by comparison. I haven't looked in Kinokuniya but bookdepostory.co.uk has a great selection [and free shipping to Aust].
I love books of all persuasions, and am unspeakably envious of your collection. If I visit you house be prepared to a)not see me for several hours while I drool over them and b) search my bags as I leave!
My library is growing too & in fact, I have just got a new & bigger shelf to accomodate all the books & mags. My mum has the same saying too!
My library is getting nuts. I finally figured out that I don't need to print EVERY pattern. I can just save it to a thumb drive... It's getting better, but the books are still a temptation.
All those books and yet it's all so neat, I'm majorly impressed. I don't dare show you the cupboard that houses my recipe books.
