Hip to Knit (Hip to . . . Series)
This book includes projects designed to appeal to the new Gen-X  knitter and uses such currently popular materials as  super-chunky wools, ribbon, and metallic yarns. Among the 18  projects are a felted tote bag, a hooded sweatshirt, a ribbed  tank top, and chunky hats that should knit up in no time.  Inexplicably, the "Knitting Basics" section at the end of the  book does not include information on the knit and the purl  stitches, so this project book will have to be used in  conjunction with a basic how-to-knit instruction book.  Recommended for all public libraries patronized by hip knitters.  You know who you are.Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc.
