Pictures are clear and the language is direct and easy to follow. I've knit the striped scarf and really want to knit a bunch of the other projects in the book such as the Skully sweater, the hoodie and the most backpacks! (  )firefly1234 | Jun 2, 2009 | 1  A wonderful learn-to-knit book I refer to this often while working on knitting projects of all kinds. An especially nice pattern feature is that they have the required skills listed amongst the required supplies so that you can choose a project based on your abilities. ( )cacgilman | May 8, 2009 | 1 I got this book hoping that it would teach me how to knit. It didn't. I eventually did learn and I was able to knock out a few patterns featured in the book. The patterns are written clearly enough to understand. I recommend it if you're a beginning knitter. ( )r0ckcandy | Apr 9, 2009 | This is a very good one for the ones who want to learn to knit. The patterns I wasn't very crazy about, but there's some cute stuff in it. (  )neurotoxicdoll | Feb 8, 2009 | 0.049 seconds to build listing
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0761128182, Paperback)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. (retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:04 -0400) The first test round has been closed.

I once took the book on vacation and when we pulled into a rest area I put the book into the pocket on the front door. I went to put something in the garbage and left the door open. As I went back to the car I heard a gasp and saw a young girl who spotted the book and was pointing it out to her father and said "See the title?". Her father grinned at me and they left.
I would definetly buy this book again...it is one of my favorites. (
