      Synopsis

      Chicks, start your sticks! This time it’s all about knitting


      Stop letting worry knit your brows, ladies. Let go of your fear of knitting, and take hold of The Chicks with Sticks® Guide to Knitting. With more than 30 simple, chic projects plus simple step-by-step instructions, this book is the complete guide to starting and enjoying this fun, rewarding hobby. New knitters can finish up their first projects in a weekend; more advanced beginners (that is, the ones who have knitted scarves before) can move to the next level. Call your posse and settle down in the living room or at the coffeehouse. The Chicks with Sticks will take care of the rest, from essential tools and materials to basic lessons to more than 30 doable projects, including cool belts, beautiful scarves, felted bags, stylish wraps, and snuggly sweaters.

      April 12, 2009: I had a really hard time learning how to knit because books were not clear enough for me to understand. This book is a great beginner's book because it has clear pictures and directions and spells out every step for you along your merry path of knitting. Of all of my knitting books, and I have many now, this would be my number one choice.

      March 31, 2009: This book really got me moving with picking up knitting. I have taken classes and dabbled little by little, but this book is written so clearly and the projects progress one tiny skill at a time. If you work through the book you will go from knitting a simple scarf to a men's argile sweater. I highly recommend this book!
