I really enjoyed this book for teaching me helpful techniques and nifty patterns that I know I will get around to one of these days. I recommend this book to all knitters. ( )

I enjoyed this book on knitting. The author writes in a funny, yet clear style. I was able to follow her instructions for the stitches I wanted to learn out of this book. She also included some unique patterns; most of them weren't anything I'd be interested in knitting, though. This isn't much of a criticism, though - I found the instructional parts of the book to be useful enough that I didn't really care about the actual patterns. I would recommend this for anyone with a sense of humor & wit who also wants to learn to knit. ( )

Easy to follow instructions, and some very cute patterns. I can't wait to finish the mohawk hat. ( )

Love this book's innovative design and attitude. Despite its flippant appearance there is great tech info inside and a lot of cool insight. ( )

Little bit gothic for me. ( )
