It's my copy of The Knitting Tarot. I have been waiting for this for years! Literally, Amber and Megan have been working on this project since 2003. I began following their progress when Mac at Pesky Apostrophe mentioned it way back when. They bought a hand press and have printed the cards and book themselves. They finished all the printing earlier this year and were waiting for the book binding.
While at SOAR, I got an e-mail saying the sets were on sale. I didn't waste a minute. I was drinking my Jillian-made espresso, waiting to go to breakfast and I clicked on over and placed my order.
I can't even tell you how beautiful the set is. The book lies flat when you open the pages. I would guess this is helpful when you're doing a reading before you become completely familiar with the cards. Sassy made me sit down and "do" a reading for her. She very patiently waiting while I looked up the cards and read the text to her. I think she would have made me put on a cape and a turban if we had them.
As an added bonus (as if the beauty of the book and deck aren't enough), because I ordered early enough, I got this magnesium cut that was used in the printing of the set. Is it prophetic that it's a spindle? It's the cut used for the Ace of Spindles.
The Ace of Spindles is a call to meet need with your knitting basket. Take out, or begin, the project that may start a chain reaction. ... Keep it simple, make it work, and hand it off, in thanks and support.
Could it get any cooler??
Can I read the tarot? Nope, but it's on my life list of things to do. Shortly after I ordered this set, I found a book on Amazon to held me with the Waite-Rider cards I bought before Little Big Man was born (he's 16!). Can you believe I put my hands on that deck within 5 minutes of getting the book from Amazon? I think if I start with the lessons in the book, eventually I will be able to do readings for all my fibery friends with The Knitting Tarot.
