KnitKnit: Profiles + Projects from Knitting`s New Wave

2007 y.
Publisher: Stewart, Tabori &, Chang
Description: All over North America and Europe, a brand-new generation has taken up knitting - and is transforming the venerable needlecraft by blurring the boundary between craft and art. In Copenhagen, Denmark, Isabel Berglund hand-knit an entire room. In New England, Dave Cole constructed an enormous `knitting machine` (he used excavators and utility poles) that knit an 800-stitch, 35-by-20-foot American flag. But the projects aren`t all of a monumental scale. In Los Angeles, Bridget Marrin knits little dollhouses - complete with lawns, shrubbery, and smoke-filled chimneys, all made of yarn. Using surgical wire, Indiana-based knitter Althea Merback hand-knits sweaters smaller than a dime. Five years ago, Sabrina Gschwandtner founded a `zine to tackle the blurry edge between craft and fine art. Now, her book `KnitKnit` brings together profiles of 27 of the most talented artist-crafters knitting today. But `KnitKnit` does more than just document their ingenious creations. Each of the… [detailed...]

KnitLit: Sweaters and Their Stories…and Other Writing About Knitting

2002 y.
Publisher: Three Rivers Press
Description: Whether you’re a dedicated knitter who bestows lovingly crafted gifts upon family and friends at every possible occasion, a sometimes knitter with a bag of fully conceived but half-completed projects, or a newcomer who has recently taken up the needles with great gusto, you know the rewards that this hobby can bring. You may also know that knitting as a hobby can verge on obsession—be it the compulsive purchasing of stunning hand-spun wool, the desire to rip out nearly finished sweaters because you dropped a stitch, or the need to knit wherever, whenever, or however you can. Most important, though, knitting offers a camaraderie, a society of women and men who converse in a language all their own, flock to yarn stores with religious devotion, and can recite the time and place where they first learned to purl. These feelings are what KnitLit is all about. In this charming collection of stories, essays, anecdotes, and recollections, knitters of every “color” celebrate their hobby and… [detailed...]

2008 y.
Publisher: Stewart, Tabori &, Chang
Description: The immensely popular knitalong - an organized event where people knit together for a common goal - has only grown with the explosion of the Internet.

Or to try transforming something old into something completely new!

Knitspeak: An A to Z Guide to the Language of Knitting Patterns

2007 y.
Publisher: Stewart, Tabori &, Chang
Description: Knitting can be a challenging craft, but even more challenging than knitting itself is the cryptic language - a mix of abbreviations, numbers, jargon, punctuation marks, and other symbols - in which patterns are usually written. It`s no wonder so many beginners (and even some whose skills are quite advanced) are intimidated by the bewildering code - or that so many yarn-shop owners grow frustrated by the amount of time they must spend deciphering patterns for the uninitiated. Enter `Knitspeak`, a knitter`s dictionary that disentangles the mysteries of pattern language and translates it into plain English, helping knitters to easily transition from confused to confident. Andrea Berman Price`s essential guide - written in a friendly, reassuring tone and formatted for quick reference - begins with an overview of how knitting patterns are organized. It then offers a comprehensive alphabetical listing of all the abbreviations, words, phrases, and symbols typically encountered in… [detailed...]
