Its great to find a way to laugh at something you hold near and dear. This book is the equivalent of my husband's Uncle John's Bathroom Reader Series. I've placed it in my knitting basket beside my chair and pull it out for a wee bit of humour when the stitches get mussed and the prospect of a massive "frog" leaves me ready to swear off knitting forever... or at least until tomorrow.

If you find yourself bristling when someone tries to "make you smile" then this isn't the book for you. If you're the sort who stands in awe at the fact that "you're a grown up!?!" then you'll likely love this book! ( )

Stephanie's first book and probably still her best. She's got the "knitting humor" market locked down for a reason. ( )

Despite the subtitle, this book is equally suited to men who knit too much! ( )

A cute little book of one-page meditations on knitting and knitters. Each page starts with a quotation, then there are a few sentences about the author's personal experiences, and finally a pledge like "I will pride myself on my stamina as a knitter." I enjoyed the little stories of knitting gone wrong. A few of them, near the end of the book, were substantially repeated (such as the one about single sock syndrome). On the other hand, many of the stories made me smile. Overall, a nice, light book to please any knitter. ( )

Sub-titled: Meditations for Women Who Knit Too Much. Well, not being a woman didn't deter me from investigating this little comic gem - doesn't deter me from lassoing needles either. I had no idea that my knitting idiosyncrasies were a natural product of the turning of wooly animals into wooly jumpers. It's comforting to know that I'm not crazy - there are lots of us out there.
