I'm starting this blog to document my love of knitting, crochet, and other forms of crafting. The plan is to share my crafts with the internet and give my two cents on publications concerning crafts. I've been knitting for 2 and a half years, and my first book was the infamous Stitch 'n Bitch by Debbie Stoller. This was about the same time I discovered Bust magazine (co-founded by Ms. Stoller).
My take on SnB is that it's a great beginner book especially for the younger set of knitters. It's got great diagrams and pictures, projects to introduce you to each stage of your knitting skills, and a sense of humor and geek-like excitement about the craft. This was my earliest reference book to knitting techniques, and I took Stoller's personal recommendations for other knitting books and magazines to build my knitting library. Consequently I plan on sharing my reviews of that library with you.
