Stitch 'n Bitch: The Knitter's Handbook (Abridged) Audiobook

" I really hate the title! "

" Read this in prep for taking a knitting class. I can see why it's popular. "

" Good, not prissy knitting book, for those of us who don't want to make doilies. "

" Fun, mod, and informative. I found this book to much more inspiring and enlightening than the typical old fashion knitting books. It brings an old tradition up to date. "

" Slightly more helpful in getting me going with knitting; in particular, picked up good technique for holding yarn while working. Only made one pattern, and that was a basic ribbed scarf. Wouldn't mind trying some other things if I pick up my own copy. "

" I was able to pick up on knitting again after about 18 years, with the help of this book. Worked for me! "

" As a newbie knitter, this book has already saved my bacon a couple of times. It's well written and illustrated - a very useful handbook, with some cute patterns! "

" This is a fantastic reference book. The explanations are very simple, and in plain English. Also, the hand-drawn illustrations are very helpful. All budding knitters should have a copy. "

" This was the first knitting book I bought when I was learning to knit. Highly recommend for a new knitter. I still refer to it every now and then. It has some fun patterns in it as well. "

" I like the pictures in this book when I was really just learning to knit... the patterns are kinda cute and fun, though nothing all that great or interesting. "

" I think the instructions here are quite confusing. I learned from Knitting for Dummies, which was great. "

" Love this knitting book. I checked it out from the library so much that I decided I needed my own copy. Great reference book, fun patterns, etc. "

" I just took my first knitting class and promptly forgot everything when I left. Luckily, they had recommended this sassy book and I am hopeful it will be helpful. "

" I haven't knitted a damn thing from this book, but it motivated me to just do it already (knitting, that is). "

" The stories in this book and the writing are so well written. I thought it was great for me to check out some new patterns, maybe learn something new, but the stories hooked me right in. They were very heartfelt and I believe, even if you don't knit, are worth reading. "

" some awesome patterns, im not a very advanced knitter so i basically use it for technical info. i taught myself to pearl using it. "

" fun little knitting book. picked it up at the used book store and found it very entertaining... glazed over stuff I already know how to do because the way the author described it was so hilarious. "

" Gave me the confidence to knit something other than scarves. And fun to read. "

" This book helped remind me how to knit, and it gave me some great patterns to beginning projects. Once my kids are old enough not to eat yarn or impale themselves on the needles, I'm getting this book out again. It's clear, entertaining, and hip. "

" Very good book if you want to learn how to knit. "

" Not a big fan. It really didn't have anything in it that I was interested in making, other than the guys ribbed hat. Its an okay reference with pictures for figuring things out though. "

" Thank you, Miss Shea for getting me into knitting. "

" Stitch n' Bitch is my knitting bible. Maran's mom taught me to knit in January of 2002, but I didn't finish the scarf I started then until I picked up Stitch n' Bitch two years later. The instruction level was perfect - clear but not condescending - and the patterns are simple but great. "

" I didn't like this as much as 'The Happy Hooker', which I bought first. I can't really tell you why, I just found it 'stuffier'. "

" Amazing book, make it so easy to learn to knit! "

" Fairly good book for the new knitter with some nice modern patterns and projects. So far all knitting books that I have read are a little dorky- this one is no exception. "

" This book can teach you how to knit (it's what I used to teach myself to knit) but many of the projects are unfortunately dated to the ugliest part of the early 2000s. "

" Wonderful all inclusive book, great for any knitter to have in their arsenal. The Big Bad Baby blanket is possibly the best baby blanket pattern I have seen/used. "

" This is the book that taught me how to knit, but I didn't find it very useful as a reference book once I started to be halfway sure of what I was doing. "

" This was a gift and I use it often. One of the best books for beginning knitters. "

" I have read it cover-to-cover, both as a how-to book and as a creative masterpiece of knitting punnery! "

" Great intro to knitting! Would recommend it to anyone interested in picking up the hobby. "

" I keep this book with me when I'm working on any knitting project. It's a great reference book and it also has several good patterns for testing out new skills. "

" The patterns are medium (fun at the time but quickly dating) but the writing & technical explanations are amazing! "

" This was the first knitting book I bought when I was learning to knit. Highly recommend for a new knitter. I still refer to it every now and then. It has some fun patterns in it as well. "

" The best book I've ever seen for explaining knitting techniques in ways that can be easily understood by someone relatively inexperienced (me). "
