These easy, quick-to-knit projects are perfect for instant-gratification knitting... -- Knitter's Magazine. ...features fashion forward patterns like hippie-chic tote bags and bold, chunky hats... -- Grace magazine. Geared to the young, new knitters (but still perfect for knitters over 35!) who want to experience the satisfaction of making something using their new-found skill and their own sense of style... -- Knit It!. ...far more than just another 'golly, knitting is so cool and trendy' book... Swartz's loving and honest voice is a pleasure to read... -- Knitter's Review.com.
