Editorial Review: Product Description: The newest title in Harper's stand-up series, Knit Wit features 30 hip, creative knits that are easy and fun to make. A beginner's class (or refresher course, if you're a lapsed knitter) offers the equipment advice, step-by-step instructions on basic techniques, and expert tips you'll need to knit with wit. Then on to the projects -- arranged by order of difficulty so you can match your skill level and time constraints. Each one is vividly photographed and, when necessary, accompanied by clear diagrams to ensure happy results. Best of all, the stand-up format allows handsfree perusal so you can knit without dropping a stitch, referring to the instructions as you go. Projects Include: postmodern legwarmers • rockstar scarf • pixie hat dreadlock hat • ice cream pint cozy • sound-system snugglers • water-bottle sling • birdless boa • surf & turf skirt • girly boxers • purple haze cardigan • coral bikini • AND MANY MORE!

 Rating: - Knit WitThis book was highly recommended to me, I'm sure I will be using this book Rating:  - A GREAT book if you like fun projects!I got this book and at the same time, my sister in Oregon bought it for herself! There are some really neat projects in there, like a guy's sweater I made for my brother (my very first sweater!) and an ice cream pint cozy (I love Ben & Jerry's) and I'm going to make a laptop cover for my computer.

Like most knitting books, it serves as a good jumping off point to do your own thing. The design of the book, however, is an enormous pain in the posterior. It's bound on top with a nifty construction on the bottom that allows it to stand upright (handy), but once you flip a page you have to flip the book around to continue with the same pattern. ...

The book also has sort of an easle type back so it stands up while you're knitting - something I thought was clever and useful. My favorite project in the book was the water bottle sling. Rating: - Wonderful!I have a ton of knitting books and I have to say that this one is my favorite. The patterns are well written and not at all intimidating. This book doesn't take itself too seriously like one of my other faves, "Last Minute Knitted Gifts." I like "Knitting for Dummies" and "The Knitter's Companion" for instruction, so I didn't pay too much attention to the "how to" part of Knit Wit. It appears to me to be somewhat geared toward younger knitters, and also knitters who aren't super-experienced and ... Read More
