The fiber world is all abuzz about sustainable yarns and alternative materials, and AwareKnits jumps on this trend with a socially conscious approach to knitting and crochet.
Knitting superstar Vicikie Howell and activist-knitter Adrienne Armstrong present a groundbreaking volume that’s part pattern book and part crafty call to action. They offer 31 stylish projects that use a variety of “green” yarns, including ones from soy, corn, and hemp.
VICKIE HOWELL is a self-proclaimed crafty grrrl. In an effort to mobilize the feminist-based knitting movement, she founded successful chapters of the irreverent but socially conscious knitting group Stitch ’n Bitch in Los Angeles and Austin. Vickie was the host of DIY’s Knitty Gritty and has written three books for Sterling and one for Lark: New Knits on the Block; Not Another Teen Knitting Book; Knit Aid; and Pop Goes Crochet!.
Co-author ADRIENNE ARMSTRONG is a knitter, environmentalist, and owner of the sustainable living shop The Atomic Garden in Oakland, California.

This review is from: AwareKnits: Knit & Crochet Projects for the Eco-Conscious Stitcher (Paperback)
Not what I wanted, I was looking for some recycling/re-purposing projects and found this to be an evironmentlist book that is a bit on the preachy side.

This review is from: AwareKnits: Knit & Crochet Projects for the Eco-Conscious Stitcher (Paperback)
I was pleasantly surprised by the number of modern designs and patterns that I would actually like to make. That, combined with the suggestions for alternative and eco-friendly yarns, will spark inspiration in knitters everywhere. This would make a great gift for any knitter or wannabe.
