Knitting at Home: 60 Classics from Ella Rae Designs by Leanne Prouse. 2010
The book sets relaxed mood and has a wide array of patterns. Instructions assume some knitting intelligence, which is refreshing. All projects use Ella Rae yarn but substitutions are easy, especially because most of the designs are not fitted. While I do not consider this a "must have" for my library, it would be a welcome addition. Recommended.

"Ye Banks and Braes O' Bonnie Doon"
Lyrics by Robert Burns
Sung by Shira Kammen from A Celebration of Robert Burns. Magnatune.
Ye banks and braes o' bonnie Doon
How can ye bloom sae fresh and fair?
How can ye chaunt, ye little birds
And I sae weary full o' care?
Ye'll break my heart, ye warbling bird
That wantons thro' the flow'ry thorn
Ye mind o' departed joys
Departed never to return.
Oft hae I roved by bonnie Doon
To see the rose and woodbine twine
And ilka bird sang o' its love
And fondly sae did I o' mine
Wi' lightsome heart I pu'd a rose
Full sweet upon its thorny tree
And my fause lover stole my rose
But ah! he left the thorn wi' me.
