Weekend knitting : 50 unique projects and ideas (edition 2003)

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. ( )

Even egg cozie sweaters

I love this book! Even if I never knit something out of it (which is not happening. I have something on the needles right now), the articles and recipes alone are worth having. ( )

I have a hard copy and soft cover book.

I love the patterns in this book. Made one of the sweaters that you knit from the bottom up. Was uneven but that had more to do with my lack of knitting skills! I really like the fingerless gloves in this book and is one of the next things I want to try. There are some great shawl patterns as well. Supposedly you can knit these in a weekend but not at my skill level! ( )
