Knitters of all ages and levels are invited to embark with Stephanie Pearl-McPhee on a journey deep into the land populated by those obsessed with yarn, needles, and what's on those needles now. Pearl-McPhee's tour-guide commentary on the people, language, strange beliefs, etiquette, and cultural customs of the world where knitters rule is spot-on and marked by the wit honed on her popular blog, www.yarnharlot.com. It's an expedition no knitter will want to miss! Includes basic instructions for making hats, socks, and scarves and improvising patterns.
