'Why We Fight'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
How advanced is she?
Fairly advanced, I think. She's always making things for people. Hats, socks, scarves, maybe even sweaters.
I think there's some knitting projects, etc. here: [link]
Oh, cool. That travel knit kit might be useful. Unless she already has one.
You could get her really cool stitch markers, hand carved needles, gift certificate to a yarn store, I've heard good things about Zelda bags, but those may be pricey.

If she's fairly advanced there are some really good books for advanced techniques I'll try to find.
I have the Vogue Ultimate knitting book which is awesome. It has patterns, high fashion techniques, plus a design section.
Ooh, this book looks pretty neat. Especially since she's fairly advanced. It might give her some new things to try.

Oh, thanks! I'll take a look at those. Books are good because I can get them from Amazon really quickly with Prime. The gift-revealing is next Thursday, so buying online from anywhere else is iffy.
Ooh, there are books about people who knit! Those might be cute.
Also turn her on to this, if she isn't already. [link]
I've heard good things about this book [link]
Daisy Jane, that book sounds great! Not only does it have a great title, but it sounds like something that any knitter could appreciate, whereas with the books focused specifically on the practicalities of knitting, I really don't know whether they would be useful or they would appeal to her or she's moved past them or whatever. Thanks for the rec!
This one seems to be even more popular: [link]
hello! (emerging from my long silence)
so much going on!
My new tag is from Tim Burton's interview on Charlie Rose ... he's an interesting man.
Andi, you might point out to the problem person's supervisor that her actions might open up the possibility of a law suit (deliberate overuse of any medication might cause problems ... and if the patient's family found out they might want to).
Hil, I suggest you track down your advisor and nail the letter to his chest (I'd suggest his forehead, but if you nail it to his chest, upside-down, he'll be able to read it). ... what? it worked for Martin Luther!
This is the author I was thinking of with the really cool techniques [link]
Also this book [link] and its follow up [link]
Yeah, the Mason-Dixon books looked good too. Damn, now I can't choose!
