The Friday Night Knitting Club - An Audio Book for Knitting Fans! 

Keep on knitting and listen to audio books as you work - this is great fun!

"Kate Jacobs's breezy first novel reads like Steel Magnolias set in Manhattan." - USA Today

"impossible to put down. Jacobs's winning first novel is bound to have appeal among book clubs." - Booklist

"Poignant twists propel the plot and help the pacing find a pleasant rhythm." - Publishers Weekly

The story:

Walker & Daughter is Georgia Walker's little yarn shop, tucked into a quiet storefront on Manhattan's Upper West Side. The Friday Night Knitting Club is improvised by some of Georgia's regulars, who stroll into the shop looking for tips on knitting and end up finding much, much more.

So now, once a week, they gather to work on their latest projects and to chat and occasionally clash over their stories of love, life, and everything in between.

However, unexpected changes soon throw these women's lives into disarray, and the shop's comfortable world gets shaken up like a snow globe.

When the unthinkable happens, they realize what they've created not just a knitting club, but a sisterhood.

Elizabeth Zimmermann's Knitting Workshop DVD 

Learn How to Knit with this great Knitting DVD

Knitting Lessons with master knitter, Elizabeth Zimmermann.

The lessons originally aired on PBS, from beginnings (casting on, increasing, decreasing and color work) to Master classes (aran and fair isle sweaters, shoulder shapings, steeks and more).

Edited by Cully Swansen with additional commentary from Meg Swansen about Elizabeth Zimmermann.

Elizabeth Zimmermann's Knitting Workshop DVD

She is a genius!
I had this on my wish list for a long time before I treated myself to buying it.
So my question to myself is "Why did I wait so long?"

I vaguely remember this series when it was on PBS and I was a young beginning knitter. I remember being in awe of EZ then and I am still in awe. She is amazing. This DVD and it is like having a wise and experienced mom or grandma sitting there with you and showing you how to knit.

This DVD offers solid instruction and education for the beginner all the way up to some advanced techniques. - Sleepless (Anoka, MN)

A Knitting Glossary

Excellent, well organized DVD
This DVD was extremely helpful to me as a self-taught knitter who began with socks several months ago. The comfortable format of a mother and daughter sitting on a sofa discussing knitting and demonstrating various techniques was most useful. It is a joy to watch on so many levels. I love Elizabeth Zimmermann's spirit and her daughter, Meg Swansen's expertise. The well organized index allows easy access to the various techniques for later review. This DVD is jam packed with information as it's very tightly edited and includes a wonderful interview at the end. I HIGHLY recommend this video to new and experienced knitter's alike. I also bought the Knitting Workship DVD, but of the two, the Knitting Glossary is the most helpful. - mmqc

Timeless Tool for Anyone Who Knits.
If you don't have time to take classes, you have it all right here alive and in color with Elizabeth and Meg. You feel as tho' you are right there on their couch learning from two experts. Elizabeth's demeanor and humor are just so endearing. I adore her and Meg's wit. The beauty of the DVD is you have the ability to pause,go back and search through an expansive and thorough index. If you are knitting and come to a road block, you will find your answer on this DVD. I absolutly love this DVD. You will not be disappointed. This is a timeless tool for anyone who knits. - M.

"Un. Real. There is no other way to describe...well, that's a lie because I'll come up with more. But my first impression of The Knitter's Book of Yarn? Un. Real. I open the hardcover to reveal a fiber family tree. Smitten. Smitten on the spot. This book is, without a doubt, everything you ever wanted to know not just about fiber but were afraid to ask%u2026.This is absolutely a MUST HAVE book, and I don't say that often."
-Melissa Knits, blog


The Knitter's Book of Yarn
Not all yarns are alike. Some make our hearts and hands sing, some get the job done without much fanfare, and some cause nothing but frustration and disappointment. The gorgeous pair of socks that emerged from their first bath twice as long as when they went in. The delicate baby sweater that started pilling before it even came off the needles. The stunning colorwork scarf that you can't wear because the yarn feels like sandpaper against your neck. If only there were a way to read a skein and know how it would behave and what it wanted to become before you invested your time, energy, and money in it. Now there is! With The Knitter's Book of Yarn, you'll learn how to unleash your inner yarn whisperer.

In these pages, Clara Parkes provides in-depth insight into a vast selection of yarns, giving you the inside stories behind the most common fiber types, preparations, spins, and ply combinations used by large-scale manufacturers and importers, medium-sized companies, boutique dye shops, community spinneries, and old-fashioned sheep farms. And, because we learn best by doing, Parkes went to some of the most creative and inquisitive design minds of the knitting world to provide a wide assortment of patterns created to highlight the qualities (and minimize the drawbacks) of specific types of yarns.

The Knitter's Book of Yarn will teach you everything you need to know about yarn: How it's made, who makes it, how it gets to you, and what it longs to become. The next time you pick up a skein, you won't have to wonder what to do with it. You'll just know-the way any yarn whisperer would.
