Not Another Teen Knitting Book

By Howell, Vickie

Publishers Summary:
Vickie Howell—host of the DIY Network’s popular Knitty Gritty, cohost of Styleicious, and author of New Knits on the Block—shows teens of all types just how cool knitting can be! One glance at this fun volume (cleverly designed to look like a high school yearbook) will have every teen, from preppies to punks, grabbing for their knitting needles. That’s because Vickie Howell has created something to appeal to every last one of them, whether they’re in the drama club (theater mask hats), celebrating their first car (steering wheel, headrest, and seatbelt cozies), or heading for the track meet (athletic socks). Each hip, urban-styled project represents a different group, event, milestone, or interest; taken as a whole, they truly capture the diversity of the high school experience. Plus, Howell offers “Knitting 101” for beginners, and ranks the projects by difficulty, from “Freshman” for the simplest to “Varsity” for those who enjoy a challenge.  With her help, every young knitter will make the grade! Vickie Howell (New Knits on the Block, October 2005) is the host of DIY’s Knitty Gritty, cohost of DIY’s Styleicious, and a founding member of the Austin Craft Mafia. She has a regular column in Knit.1 magazine and is definitely a rising star in the craft world. Jody Horton is a photographer and filmmaker and is founder and director of Corduroy Pictures, a design, video, and photo studio based in Austin, TX.   CRITICS PRAISE…  NEW KNITS ON THE BLOCK!“[A] brilliant collection of inspired kids’ knits… The projects are so playful and fun…children won’t need to be enticed to use them.”—Debbie Stoller, Editor-in-Chief BUST Magazine and author of Stitch 'n Bitch booksVICKIE HOWELL! Ã¢â‚¬Å“Vickie Howell is the rockstar of knitting.”—Adina Klein, Editor-in-Chief, Knit.1 magazine
