Xenopus: frogs that are stitched together

Ok, i have a friend that is just learning to knit. and i thought that i would get her a knitting book for christmas. so that she will have something to knit other than a square (which is all that she knows how to do according to her.) So i spent about an hour at the book store last night looking at all the knitting books that they have. and the vast majority of them talk about either only sweaters, knitting for the advanced person, or knitting for your baby. None of which seemed all that great to me. so i narrowed it down to two books. both of them had excellent instructions on how to do everything that you could ever want to do with knitting. but one had great pattern and the other one taught you how to make your own patterns. not knowing for sure how adept she was, i wanted to get her one with the patterns already in it, but unfortunately the book was called the stitch n bitch (and she has three young kids that don't need to be exposed to that kind of language.) so utterly confused, i decided to call my ever knowledgable mom and ask her what i should do. and she said to get the one book but put stickers on it so that the offensive word would be covered up. but the wierdest thing is that instead of saying "bitch" she said "the B-word" which i thought was rather wierd because i have heard her say things like that several times. so i don't know what to think about that.

and, finally, i finished my christmas shopping. but then today on line i found one of the things that i bought last night for 2/3rds of the price. so i think that i am going to order it on line and then return the other one to the store. and that person will just have to get their present after christmas (and i am sure that they won't mind)
