1: FANTASTIC!
I love it! It's an interesting read and the patterns included are great. A wonderful gift for any knitter...
|
2: Get this book. (You'll love it.)
Buy this book if you're a long-time knitter. Buy this book if you're a newbie knitter, or someone who thinks,"Hey, maybe I'm interested in this knitting thing." Buy this book if you *know* somebody who loves to knit.
You'll understand. What Larissa and Martin have done is created a book that is also a camera's viewfinder, in which you see other people, like yourself, all over the world, knitting, creating, becoming involved in the art, and involved in each other.
Every time I open it, I see something new and interesting, informative and life-affirming. Hey, the patterns and projects are GREAT, the writing is really, really excellent, and the photography is perfectly beautiful, but this book is special. Larissa and Martin hand-knit this book for you and me. For us. Get this book.

3: Great Patterns but disapointed by the writing
I had heard many raving reviews about this book so of course I had to buy it. The patterns are wonderful as promised but I was also looking forward to the 'history' of the knit along and was disapointed. The history was very mater of fact and nothing that I had not already assumed. I have not finished reading it so it might get better but... It is a good kniting book but I was hopping for something better.

4: Sharing a pleasurable hobby
I really liked the premise of the book - that of knitting together with old friends or new friends. Also, there are some very nice patterns in the book. I think it is worth the money.
|
5: Thought provoking
I have been knitting for a few years and I love the sense of community you get when you are doing a Knit-a-long. This relates the number of ways to knit together.
