At long last, a knitting book thats certifiably hip. Aimed at the rapidly growing new generation of knitters, Knitting Pretty offers up 30 smart-looking projects presented in language ordinary human beings can understand. Perfect for the beginner, the user-friendly basics section features step-by-step illustrations and instructions for everything the knitter on the make needs to know. The unique patterns-from cozy caps, scarves, and mittens, to pillow covers, kooky sock puppets, and even a paperweight-come with easy-to-follow instructions, helpful diagrams, and beautiful full-color photographs of the finished projects. From quick and easy projects to somewhat grander endeavors for the more experienced, Knitting Pretty makes it a pleasure to whip up warm and woolly masterpieces.

Kris Percival was born in the wool-steeped wilds of Maine, but today she knits in Brooklyn. Her handknit fashions are featured at Barney's and Butter.
France Ruffenach is a San Francisco based photographer whose work has appeared in such magazines as Bon Appetit and Parenting.
This work should appeal to the same age demographic as Judith L. Swartz's Hip To Knit (see below), but it is more targeted to the beginner and includes much more basic knitting instruction and projects that are easier to knit, including such modern-day accoutrements as a cell-phone cozy and a simple headband for skiers. Public libraries may want this if demand warrants, but the projects are not as interesting as those in Hip To Knit.
