Description: "In Knit My Skirt, Candace Eisner Strick makes a strong pro-skirt statement. She loves designing, knitting, and wearing skirts, and is sure you will, too. After a quick look at the often-amusing history of skirts, knitters' concerns are addressed: Yes, you can wear a knit skirt. They are comfortable and flattering. No, knit skirts do not reveal every curve--unless you want them to! Yes, it's easy to make a well-fitting skirt--using one key measurement. No, skirts do not take forever--actually, less time than a sweater. No sleeves means less yarn to buy, fewer stitches, little shaping. All in all, a skirt is a simple canvas for colors, stitch patterns, construction techniques, and embellishments"--
