Reviews

There is no better indicator of a craft's resurgence or ascendance than the number of new books devoted to the subject. And although knitting's revival has been in the works since the beginning of the millennium (if not before), this new innovative book signals a more sophisticated knitter in the making. Well known to the denizens of Studio City, Eig, owner of La Knitterie Parisienne, now takes her expertise on the road, sharing tips, patterns, and even two recipes with thousands of not-so-famous knitters across the country, even the world. Opening her book is almost like coming home; the warmth of her welcome and you-can-do-it attitude infuse every page and instruction. Aside from the more than 45 fairly simple patterns (female oriented), the chatty text starts with the basics, such as casting on, knitting, and purling, and continues with an exploration of yarns and equipment, the knitting circle and other emotional connections, and other relevant topics. "My philosophy is to help knitters feel the joy in creating something of substance and style--something that is all your own." Amen. Barbara Jacobs
