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.

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.

Disappointing 23 Jun 2005

By bluecougar25

Format:Hardcover

Having read the blurb and other reviews I was really looking forward to this book, expecting it to be full of smaller sized projects ideal for completion within a weekend, approachable items that would look good and be quick to complete. Um, not really. The book itself is a lovely coffee table tome but is rather lacking in variety (some creative socks, one interesting sweater, cute doll, a nice lacy cowl thing) and has some strange patterns (egg cozies?!) and demands knitting skills I'd put at intermediate to advanced, quite challenging, though all steps are clearly explained. The projects are unlikely to be completed within a weekend, unless you perhaps started at the end of work Friday and knitted non-stop till midnight Sunday, for several weeks running in some cases. If you're looking for unusual patterns to get your teeth into, or something to browse and dream over but never actually get round to *doing*, then this book is ideal; if like me you were expecting achievable results to be done in your spare time, look at Last Minute Knitted Gifts or browse online for patterns!

Beautifully photographed, full of inspiration 19 Dec 2003

By A Customer

Format:Hardcover

I am extremely pleased with this book. The photography and layout make it very appealing. The projects range from washcloths and hats that can definitely be completed in a weekend, to larger projects such as shawls and jumpers, with all levels of skill catered for. Even though a lot of the yarns are not readily available in the UK, weights and yardage are given, which will make substitution easy. A large number of designers are represented, including some who will familiar to UK knitters, such as Debbie Bliss. There are also nice little 'extras' such as lists of films that feature knitting, although I doubt that many UK readers will feel the need for the instructions on how to make a cup of tea! All in all, this is a book that will have you reaching for yarn and needles and raring to go!

a great buy for all kinds of knitters 2 Sep 2006

By J. McCreadie

Format:Hardcover

This is, quite simply, a lovely book for knitters who are enthusiastic. I really like the range of projects from mittens to a lap rug to a egg cosies. The finger puppets for kids are especially good. Many of the patterns are simple but they benefit from this appraoch, leeting the quality and colour of yarns shine through. The quotes, recipes and photographs make this a good read as well. Highly recomended !

Too American

Nice book, but didn't realise that it was an American publication, so most of the yarns used are ones I've never heard of. Read more
