Description

Inspired, original, and laugh-out-loud funny, knitstrips consist of patterns and knitting instructions mixed with advice and humorous commentary, all presented in illustrated comic book panels. Launched in 2016 on the mega-popular knitting site Modern Daily Knitting, the strips gained instant popularity and have attracted thousands of avid fans.

The book includes 22 brand-new patterns and is designed to mimic a bound collection of comic books in a series, with each "issue" featuring its own cover and wry theme—from yarn stashes to binge knitting—that resonates with knitters. Issues offer four to six knitting patterns each, along with designer highlights and a variety of stories and technical discussions.

The result is a fresh, lively knitting adventure that is like nothing the fibre world has seen before.
