If you wrote a book, I would read it. I am not much of a comment leaver but I needed to leave one for the writing. Your two paragraphs on your grandparents are gorgeously written.

There is nothing like the aura of an old book. The aura of an untouched cake of yarn does come close, though. I can't wait to see pictures of your spring-break WIPs. What a wonderful treasure!

I agree you should read Savage Beauty if you haven't yet - what an amazing woman Millay was. And ... Debby is right - Millay would make some great inspiration for patterns. Oh, how lovely.

Old books are so precious, particularly those given to you by a family member. I hope you will share some Millay with us, if not some Millay inspired patterns. :) What a wonderful gift!

It is great seeing how someone else might have thought as they were reading the book. (I really want the hat, but I don't think I can buy any yarn for another few weeks. Hopefully the kits will last around that long.)

Not only a 1st ed. Millay, but one that your grandmother pored over lovingly and intelligently. btw, have you read Nancy Milford's Savage Beauty, the bio of Millay? It's very well done.

My most precious book is a copy of Jane Austen's collected work presented to my grandmother by her father in honor of her confirmation. That’s a real item to treasure.
