    Knitting Pretty

    At long last, a knitting book thats certifiably hip. Aimed at the rapidly growing new generation of knitters, Knitting Pretty offers up 30 smart-looking projects presented in language ordinary human beings can understand. Perfect for the beginner, the user-friendly basics section features step-by-step illustrations and instructions for everything the knitter on the make needs to know. The unique patterns-from cozy caps, scarves, and mittens, to pillow covers, kooky sock puppets, and even a paperweight-come with easy-to-follow instructions, helpful diagrams, and beautiful full-color photographs of the finished projects. From quick and easy projects to somewhat grander endeavors for the more experienced, Knitting Pretty makes it a pleasure to whip up warm and woolly masterpieces.

     

    Kris Percival was born in the wool-steeped wilds of Maine, but today she knits in Brooklyn. Her handknit fashions are featured at Barneys and Butter.

    France Ruffenach is a San Franciscobased photographer whose work has appeared in such magazines as Bon Appetit and Parenting.

    I learned to knit from a book!

    10/11/11| Satsuki Shibuya
    I first purchased this book at a local book store because it was nice to 'look' at. (I have a fetish of collecting books.) I decided since I bought the book to at least attempt to try and see if knitting was something that I might be able to do as a hobby. The easy-to-follow directions allowed me to start knitting immediately. Now I love to knit and hope to knit a sweater before this coming x-mas!
