I couldn't get to the computer last night, and I just found out I'm getting my computer back, so there's no reason to set up the camera! Until then, here's my new favorite library book:
In The Wild Swans by HC Anderson, a girl must knit sweaters for her 12 brothers-turned-swans to make them human again, in the short time before she is to be burned as a witch, and she must do it with her bare hands using stinging nettles.
In addition to being a very exciting example of knitting in fairy tales, it sums up the essence of knitting; though painfully frustrating at times, it is always worthwhile.

Um, pictures are a little big. :)
But what a great book. I'll need to look for it.
