Too much fun!

LOVE this book. I had a blast finding out how good my knitting vocabulary already is and learned a bunch of new terms and tricks. Very enjoyable and well written read. I actually bought 2 copies since it's the perfect gift for a knitting buddy too. Love the "Curse of the Boyfriend Sweater!" Always wondered what that meant. Anyone who knits (or crochets for that matter) will relate to this book.

Great Laughs

This is a great book to flip through when you want a chuckle, or read cover-to-cover to relax and laugh with, whether you are a knitter yourself of have one in your life.

I never really thought about just how much of our own language we really do have - every knitter should have a copy of this for their loved ones.

I've met Ms. Temple at a couple of fiber events, and I think this book succeeds particularly because her personality and humor shine through on every page.

LOVED IT!

I am a crocheter and not a knitter by an means, but his book made me laugh out loud MANY times! Secret language of knitters is a must have book! Now, when will we see a sequal such as the Secret Language of Crocheters? Crocheters want to know!

a fun read

This is a cute little book that fits easily into even my smallest KIP bags for a fun read when there just isn't time to pick up the needles or if you just need a quick reading break. It does a nice job a explaining the "language" although sometimes you have to chase through several definitions to "get it". Knitters will enjoy it just for the fun element and might even learn something! :-)

The Secret Language of Knitters

Someone who is in my Knitting Group had this book and was very happy with it. I decided to order it and I'm also very pleased with this book. I highly recommend it.

reviews: page 1, 2

From the 25-year-old hipster to her 85-year-old grandmother, more than a third of the women in the United States knit. For the yarn-obsessed, Mary Beth Temple offers a glossary of knitting jargon and terminology in The Secret Language of Knitters with entries like:

Design Elements noun: Mistakes. As in "The fact that one sleeve is five inches longer than the other is not a mistake, it is a design element."

Stress Knitting noun: When the going gets tough, the tough get knitting.

With a universal affinity for cashmere and an absolute abhorrence of moths, veteran and beginning knitters alike will be certain not to cast off this humorous lexicon compendium.
