Editorial Review: Product Description: Knitting is hot, with 4 million newcomers in the last few years joining a core group of 38,000,000 knitters nationwide. And these are primarily young, creative, connected chicks with sticks who are coming together in living rooms, knitting cafes, and chic yarn stores, and making everything from funky hats to bikinis. In Stitch 'n Bitch, Debbie Stoller-founder of the first Stitch 'n Bitch knitting group in New York City-covers every aspect of knitting and the knitting-together lifestyle: the how-to, the when-to, the what-to, the why-to. Writing with wit and attitude (The Knitty-Gritty, Blocking for Blockheads), she explains the different types of needles and yarns (and sheep, too) and all the techniques from basic to fancy, knit to purl to cast-off. She also shares her special brand of corrective surgery for when things go wrong, and offers fun and informative sidebars on such topics as how to find the best yarn for less, how to make a buttonhole, knitting etiquette, and what tools to keep in your knitting bag. At the heart of the book are forty stylish patterns: Alien Scarf, Big Bad Baby Blanky, Mohair Hoodie, Kitty and Devil Hat, Cell Phone Cozy, and Wonder Woman Bikini. And for anyone interested: how to start a Stitch 'n Bitch group. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - I like the spunkThis is the first book I have purchased in my efforts to learn how to knit. I enjoy the history of knitting and the pictures of all the tools but I think more pictures/drawings would be useful. I bought an accessories pack but have never used it because I don't know how. I might have to find a separate book on that. The step-by-step drawings and descriptions are good but sometimes you are left guessing if you completed the step correctly. A nice feature is that Debbie gives you the option to choose ... Read More Rating:  - Love IT!I love this book! I is so easy to understand when you are first learning how to Stitch & Bitch! Rating: - This book taught me how to knitI really wanted to learn how to knit. I loved the idea of making warm hats and scarves from twisting string. I am 30 years old, have no sewing experience and I do not come from a gene pool of crafty knitters so the odds were stacked up against me. I picked up this book about 2 months ago and I am now knitting every day. I have gone through most of the book and have made all of the beginner and intermediate level patterns. I am in no rush to get to the Fair Isle section but the instructions seem understandable. ... Read More Rating: - Say what you will...I taught myself to knit using this book. I can do everything covered in this book. 'nuff said :) Rating: - fun, easy, practical knittingI love the idea of this book and I love the practical suggestions and patterns it contains. I look forward to a lot of knitting. |
