Synopsis
In this follow up to the STITCH 'N BITCH HANDBOOK, BUST magazine co-publisher, New York City Stitch 'n Bitch group founder, and all-around knitting guru Debbie Stoller continues dishing out great tips to the hip knitters of today. This time, she kicks it up a level, providing detailed but easy-to-follow instructions on adjusting patterns to suit a variety of body types and yarn choices. In addition, she has gathered anecdotes and helpful hints from stitch n' bitch group members across the nation, who have savvy advice about everything from organizing your yarn and needle collection, to creating your own nostespinne (Swedish yarn winder), dealing with potentially scratchy yarn, and what knitting tools are and aren't permitted on today's security-conscious airlines. Naturally, the bulk of the book is dedicated to funky but functional patterns for wearables and accessories designed by SnB devotees, including scarves, sweaters, ponchos, fishnet stockings, laptop totes, and cat toys.
