Product Description

Knitting has been called "the hot new hobby" and "the new yoga." More women - and men - are knitting today than in many decades. More knitters than ever are demanding quick projects that provide creative fulfillment and relaxation and suit today's busy lifestyles. Weekend Knitting answers their call with 50 original projects from simple slippers to cozy mittens and chair covers. Weekend Knitting Projects is beautifully photographed on locations to evoke the relaxing weekend knitters long for, with beautiful scenery, fresh air, friends, and delicious food. All of the projects are presented in full color photos and some are shown in more than one color option. The book is sprinkled with knitting trivia, quotes about knitting, relaxation techniques, and balanced living. Recipes for treats such as hot cocoa and shortbread are also included, as are sidebars about relaxation activities such as how to give a hand massage and brewing the perfect pot of tea - making Weekend Knitting the book about the knitting lifestyle.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, 23 Jun 2005

By	bluecougar25 "hobbitblue" (Liverpool, UK) - See all my reviews

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully photographed, full of inspiration, 19 Dec 2003

By A Customer

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars a great buy for all kinds of knitters, 2 Sep 2006

By	J. McCreadie "j_mac_03" (Scotland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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 !
