Editorial Reviews

Product Description

When Weekend Knitting was first published in hardcover in 2003, a modern generation of knitters was just starting to discover this "hot new hobby." Since then, knitting has grown wildly popular and Melanie Falick’s book has gone on to become a knitting classic and a huge bestseller.
Now available in paperback, Weekend Knitting brings together unique, innovative, and still-fresh projects for beginning and more-experienced knitters, many of which can be completed in a weekend or less. Every project is presented with clear instructions and in beautiful photographs that celebrate idyllic weekend settings. 
Quotes from diverse sources about knitting, creativity, and balanced living—along with favorite recipes, lists of books and movies with knitting scenes, and other extras—complete the weekend knitting experience.

4.0 out of 5 stars Knit, read and enjoy!, October 29, 2003
By Kathy M (Cumberland, Maryland United States) - See all my reviews
I purchased this book two weeks ago. This is not only a good knitting book it is also a good reading book. With the holidays approaching this is an excellent book for a few homemade gifts that work up quickly. So far I have made six pair of the Super Mittens with another pair on the needles. A pair can be made in a day. The butter cookie recipe is good with many variations (just like the knitting patterns). There are also wonderful knitting suggestions for decorating with yarn as well as suggestions for knitting gifts. The only complaint (if one could call it that) is the yardage on the Super Mittens. It calls for 75 yards for all sizes but I found it takes approximately 95-125 yards for the sizes woman's S-man's L. Otherwise it is an excellent book!

5.0 out of 5 stars the perfect knitting book, July 8, 2004
By Ara Jane Olufson (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
i adore this book. i'm a relatively experienced knitter and i've had no problems with any of the patterns so far. i've knit several of the flower washcloths, some turtleneck egg cozies, the super mittens, the felted stash accessories bag, and am currently in the midst of knitting the union square poncho. and i'll probably use this excellent book for many of the other patterns. i think the instructions are quite clear, especially the notes included in each pattern that explain any difficult parts of the project. also, as many other reviewers have noted, the pictures are quite beautiful. it's the perfect book for us younger(ish) knitters who want simple and hip (but not too hip) patterns--with a great range in level of difficulty--that inspire us to knit more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unique projects, December 24, 2004
By digikat "digikat" (Massachusetts) - See all my reviews
When it comes to knitting books, it's hard to compile a unique collection of patterns. The appeal of this book is that it contains some *new* ideas and projects. For example, instead of a usual washcloth, it has a pattern for a flower-shaped one. And where else will you find a pattern for an egg cozy? Other projects include two blankets, lace insert for a pillow case, argyle slippers (very cute), chair cushions, a knit chair seat (who would have thought?), toss pillow cover, two different bags and an accessory case, backgammon and checkers boards, a few scarves, a shawl and a poncho, pullovers for men, women and children, a cropped cardigan, mittens, gloves, and socks, lovely hat with ear flaps for a child, a knit doll, and finger puppets. Did you get all that?

Instructions are written clearly and completely, and each project is accompanied by great photographs and charts, if necessary. Interspersed throughout the book are other little tidbits, like how to make perfect soft-boiled eggs, hot chocolate and tea, how to give hand massage to knitters, suggestions for movies and books, and how to compile a gift basket for your favorite knitter. Lots of techniques are used in the book: chart reading, lace, intarsia, double knitting, cables, stripes, shaping, but no project is too advanced for a beginner knitter looking for a bit of a challenge.

Overall, great book that stands out from the rest by having unique projects.

P.S. There is no "learn to knit" section in this book.
