So don't you just hate it when you are working with a knitting book or some other book that is soft cover and keeps flopping shut on you and you lose your page, or worse break the binding on it?
Well here's my tip for the day...get them spiral bound! For a few bucks you can go to Kinkos, or better still (or should I say cheaper) OfficeMax or any place like that..they will do it for you! It's so nice! Makes leaving a page out and open for you while you work a short row heel or even for when I try to copy a pattern for myself(I like to write all over them but not in my books). I am slowly getting my most used knitting books done! It's great...Now that I'm thinking of it...I should get some of my cookbooks done too!
Here's my 3 latest editions:
Nice neat and so much easier to deal with!
I will say that getting these three books done cost me $14 at Office Max. I had 2 done awhile back at Kinko's and paid about that much for two so OM seems a bit more economical...I'll be going there from now on!
Enjoy!
What a super great idea. I need to get my cables book done... Then I'll be apt to use it..

I hope you escape the storm (well, okay, I hope we BOTH escape the storm)!!!! I have had getting a stack of books done like this forever... and haven't of course! I'm hoping you will ripple this thought to the surface!!! BTW, your chai recipe? I love it to pieces!

What you did with the books are very nice. Putting springs would make it a lot easier to open and it will leave open on the page you are working on. This comes very handy during work time.

AWESOME Idea! I've always said that if I ever write a knitting book, I'm only doing it spiral bound... brilliant!
