Review by Library Journal Review

New Yorker Gardiner and Texan Shayne cowrite a popular blog called Mason-Dixon Knitting. Here they share the joy of knitting with a wider audience in a book that, were it a movie, would rate as a three-star comedy. Yes, there's knitting-some 30 fun and inventive knitting patterns, e.g., Heartbreakingly Cute Baby Kimono, Mason-Dixon After-Dark Nightie)-but there's also a hilarious knitting history time line, interviews with creative knitters, sidebars on topics like British slang, field-tested favorite TV shows to knit by, places in which the authors have tried to knit and failed, and essays on the joy of community knitting. An excellent annotated bibliography of "books to lead you to great heights of creative genius" rounds off this entertaining read. Highly recommended for all public libraries. (c) Copyright 2010.
