Five stars? Me? For a book written by and for MEN? Me, the feminist? YEP, yep and yep. And there was need for better editing! Still FIVE whole stars! This book addresses what I fight for. Equality. I have spent my last few month making gifts either crocheting or knitting. Lots of websites and ebooks came and blurred before my eyes. Most of the books assume you are a woman, a house-wifely-type, with no real men in your life to make things for. They are all dedicated to girly girls with squishy babies. Hey, been there done that with four full grown off-spring, three males, one female, to prove it.This book will not be wiped off my Kindle or Tablet or Kindle PC as I plan to dip into it often. Not only are there patterns for skull hats, arm braces, mice, dragons and blood-shot eyeballs, there are purses, and trinkets for mom or sister, or dare I say it? Girlfriends/wives. And these guys have proven that they can fly pattern free with a little math! Is that cool or what? And they show how to knit needle free! There are lots of pictures and explanations for those of us that need more, and it is offered with a good sense of humor!I loved this book! And I didn't read all of it, my eyes started blurring after a page or two of K1, P2, K1 etc. But I do know that when I decide to make something from the book the instructions are right there waiting for me! Thanks, guys!
