Sexy Little Knits: Chic Designs to Knit and Crochet 23 reviews Ashley Paige
Potter Craft, 2006
If you got it flaunt it!
+ Adorable, Easy and Sexy Knitting Patterns!
I got this book a couple of years ago and I love it. Yes, these are mostly teeny, tiny bikinis. I have made 2 for my daugter, and 1 for my sister in-law. There is no plus-size (I made mine for encouragement!). Make no mistake these patterns are not at all forgiving, but they are so cute and sexy ...

Workman Publishing Company, 2007
Some Great Projects, Some Crappy Projects
I absolutely love most of the patterns in this book. The other ones are just too funky or ugly for me to consider making. It's well over half of the patterns that are great though. It's not easy to find some good patterns for the modern man and this book is good for that. Maybe some of the ugly ...

AntiCraft: Knitting, Beading and Stitching for the Slightly Sinister 16 reviews Renee Rigdon, Zabet Stewart
North Light Books, 2007
Not just a knitting book
+ Hot Topic Sinister + "Anticraft" for a reason!
My sister-in-law doesn't knit. She does do much craft but knitting and crochet are not things she has mastered. I bought this book for her thinking that even if it was just knitting the background stories and nonsense would make up for it and maybe inspire her to learn. I am so glad I did. This ...

Greetings from Knit Café 20 reviews Suzan Mischer
STC Craft/Melanie Falick Books, 2006
Not your Mama's boring knitting book
+ Lovely book with several nice patterns + FOR THE LOVE OF YARN! Sit back, relax and knit...
What I like about "Greeting from Knit Cafe" is that Suzan Mischer is creating a aura of comfort while you are not only reading but also knitting to this book. I have read a lot of reviews saying that this book is geared towards the "Californian" asthetic, and that it has mostly patterns for thin ...
