NEW KNITS ON THE BLOCK!
“[A] brilliant collection of inspired kids’ knits… The projects are so playful and fun…children won’t need to be enticed to use them.”—Debbie Stoller, Editor-in-Chief BUST Magazine and author of Stitch 'n Bitch books

 

VICKIE HOWELL!
 “Vickie Howell is the rockstar of knitting.”—Adina Klein, Editor-in-Chief, Knit.1 magazine

 

Product Description

Vickie Howell—host of the DIY Network’s popular Knitty Gritty, cohost of Styleicious, and author of New Knits on the Block—shows teens of all types just how cool knitting can be!

 

One glance at this fun volume (cleverly designed to look like a high school yearbook) will have every teen, from preppies to punks, grabbing for their knitting needles. That’s because Vickie Howell has created something to appeal to every last one of them, whether they’re in the drama club (theater mask hats), celebrating their first car (steering wheel, headrest, and seatbelt cozies), or heading for the track meet (athletic socks). Each hip, urban-styled project represents a different group, event, milestone, or interest; taken as a whole, they truly capture the diversity of the high school experience. Plus, Howell offers “Knitting 101” for beginners, and ranks the projects by difficulty, from “Freshman” for the simplest to “Varsity” for those who enjoy a challenge.  With her help, every young knitter will make the grade!

3.0 out of 5 stars Fun, but Didn't Appeal to Me, January 6, 2007

A Kid's Review

This book is fun to read around in, and has a few interesting projects. Mostly, the things are interesting but not actually anything I (or anyone I know) would knit. I did like the punk mini kilt; I wouldn't make it, I know people who would.
