My Favorite Knitting Book Ever

I am in love with this book. Truly. I've only owned it for 3 weeks, and I feel like it has gone everywhere with me since I made the purchase.

3 weeks in and I'm working on my 3rd pattern from the book.

This book is great for knitters who enjoy the basics of knitting... the kind of knitting where you can pick up your needles and GO. The authors give you a basic pattern and all the tools you need to take it and make it your own.

I think every knitter everywhere should have this book.

I should mention that I actually sat down and read it cover to cover... the writing is so warm and light... the authors make you feel like you're sitting in their living room having a conversation with you. It's lovely.

great ideas for craft projects

Interesting book with fun projects. The illustrations are enticing, making a knitter want to try creating using the easily understood directions.

Love This Book

I love this book! I bought it for myself, and then bought one later for my sister-in-law for her birthday. It has some easy patterns and some for the more advanced knitter. If you are looking for something different - not the same old sweaters, scarves, and mittens - you'll find this is a great book. Most of the patterns are for the home, but there are patterns for a house coat, gown, and baby sweater. The writing has a certain witty charm, and these ladies have found interesting things to use for yarn, and interesting ways to involve their families in knitting. I don't think you'll be disappointed with Mason-Dixon Knitting.

My FAVORITE KNITTING BOOK of All time!

I LOVE this book - and frankly have an addiction to many items. I come back to them over and over. I have also forced my addiction onto others who now know where my addiction comes from. The ballband dishcloth, the burp cloth, the mitar square - how did I live without these in my knitting world? I have made the patterns in the book as well as making modifications to them over and over. You will never get sick of this one. I will treasure this book FOREVER! Get this book - you won't be sorry! And don't forget to check out the ladies' blog - great stuff!
