I always have multiple knitting projects, and over Christmas I started a new one. I’m working on developing a pattern for the arm-warmers (called muffatees or manchettes in Regency and Victorian England) that are mentioned a few times in Lady Wynwood’s Spies, volume 4: Betrayer and Lady Wynwood’s Spies, volume 5: Prisoner . My character, Phoebe, has a rather deadly pointy thing hidden in hers. :) The pattern is based off of antique knitting books which are scanned by Archive.org. (You can download .pdfs of the books, which I think is really rather cool.) The book the pattern is from was published after the Regency era, but I’m reasonably sure the pattern was in use in the Regency, just passed down by word of mouth. Are you crafting anything today?
Oh, I wish they had these kinds of deals for Kindle :P
ReplyDelete:) I want to support Barnes and Noble because I don't want them to close the brick and mortar stores!!!!
ReplyDeleteOooh, good point :)
DeleteI also bought a Nook originally because it read all the formats of ebook that I already had, but a Kindle didn't. :)
DeleteSo it kind of depends on what ebooks you already have.
DeleteI'm getting a kindle because I've already stored up 60+ free books on it:)
ReplyDeleteHaha! I have tons of free ebooks too, but anytime I got a Kindle free ebook I also got it on Nook so now I have both versions. I kept getting Kindle versions in case I ever got a Kindle, too. :)
