I am proud to say that I own NONE of those books. And it’s not that I don’t respect those authors as bloggers. Hell, I read most of them religiously. For some reasons their books just haven’t caught my fancy.

Now, if Rabbitch published a dictionary…

I was going to say Crazy Aunt Purl… but you beat me to it (or rather, The General did)

The only book of those that I own is Wendy’s. I adore her patterns.

Someday I’ll break down and get the Yarn Harlot’s books I suppose. I just haven’t reached that point yet.

I would love to get ahold of a book by CAP. The girls is just too damn funny and her cats are just the ticket for a good giggle.

I wish that Marilyn at the Knitting Curmudgeon http://www.knittingcurmudgeon.com/ would write a book. Lots of info in that brain of her’s.

Laurie and Franklin? FABulous! A few others I’d go for: Lee-Ann (Fuzzy Logic) and Kristy of She Just Walks Around With It. And I agree with La - if Rabbitch published a dictionary, I’d buy that one in a heart beat.

That dictionary idea sounds great. Heck, we need one with knitting terms– and having Rabbitch’s extra terms? The world needs that!

I’m pretty sure Marilyn is planning a book, so Becky should get her wish.

I would go buy a book about Dolores and Franklyn in a heart beat!!

If *you* wrote a knitting book, I’d buy it in a second. I’ve learned a LOT from your blog, and refer to it often! I’ve often wondered why you haven’t written some time of sock-worksheet-type book…

I believe that Eunny from See Eunny Knit, Wendy from Knit and Tonic, Stephanie from Glampyre Knits, and Lisa Shobhana Mason from My Life in Stitches all have books in the works.

Yes, I am a knitting blog junky, and I will probably end up buying all of them

I’d definitely read yours because you rock, but– and I say this with the highest regard– you would need to get someone to test-knit everything for you to make sure the directions are proofed. I’ll volunteer!
