Make some bobbles! Check out the new tutorial over here. Same stitch used in the Cherry Pie pattern.

Also checked out from the library this book - The Principles of Knitting by June Hemmons Hiatt. A tome of a knitting book at 571 pages, but what a great reference. I've found so many new and useful things in this, albeit somewhat dry, book. So I go on over to amazon.com to look it up. Yeah, seems others have discovered it's usefulness too- the out of print copies are selling for $200-$300+. I think I'll stick with renting the library copy...
