Twirl, twirl, twirl, as fast as you can...

Okay, final installment of my Italian purchases. I was fortunate to come across a nice, Italian-made, wooden yarn swift! And it wasn't that expensive! See the still shot and the action shot. Pretty cool, eh? It's small, but it's enough for my purposes... At the moment anyway. ^^

Being a book and language freak, I also bought a knitting and a crochet book in Italian and when I was in Prague, I bought a Czech crochet book. Here's a picture of all of them together. Having purchased these, I also had an excuse to buy dictionaries and grammars! (Of course, I didn't really that much pushing to get these, anyway!) Eventually, I'll get around to writing up a piece on Italian and Czech knitting/crochet terminology, so be on the look-out! In about a week, I'm going on vacation to the Far East: two weeks in Korea and one week in China. Of course, I'm scouring all the resources I can to put together a list of relevant terms to take with me. I'll share what I come up with before I leave!
