Laughing out loud, and knitting "recipes" too! September 16, 2007
This book begs to be read out loud, and mine certainly was -- to anyone who would listen! If you think you might be a bit crazy about your knitting and your stash, welcome to Stephanie Pearl-McPhee's world. The text rollicks along and makes you realize that crazy's OK, in fact it's fine.

If you are a knitter used to following patterns, the sock and hat "recipes" will help you to listen when your knitting speaks to you. Entertaining but practical -- a must-have for anyone who loves books and knitting.

Indispensable and hilarious November 15, 2006

As all Stephanie's writings, this book is hilarious and informative. This is the first book she's written which really focuses on *technique* though so if that doesn't float your boat it might not be what you're after.

She manages to explain things in a concise, funny and accessible manner and I find it an invaluable recipe book for patterns and ideas. When I was learning sock knitting a while ago I used her pick-n-mix method to find the best way of doing things for me and thanks to this book I now have my own default sock pattern which is easily jazzed up with different stitch patterns and yarns.

I can't wait for the next one, Stephanie!

First time lucky ? August 18, 2006

Unlike the other reviewer, I enjoyed this. I haven't read any of the other books written by the Yarn Harlot, but I do read her blog. It may be that this is similar to "At Knit's End" but if you haven't read that, give this a go. I read it on the train, while eating dinner, and even propped up on my chest while I fought sleep later that night. It's funny, but has a lot of sage advice.
Although she does go on about knitting tension squares an AWFUL lot.

I was given 'At Knit's End' by a friend and couldn't put it down - I laughed and laughed out loud! I ordered 'Knitting Rules' and saved it for a long trip, but I couldn't have been more disappointed - it is just a watered down re-worked version of At Knit's End. My advice would be to enjoy 'At Knit's End' but leave this book on the shelf.
