[It's also a dessert topping!]

Knit Wit features 30 hip, creative knits that are easy and fun to make. A beginner's class [or refresher course, if you're a lapsed knitter] offers the equipment advice, step-by-step instructions on basic techniques, and expert tips you'll need to knit with wit.

Then on to the projects -- arranged by order of difficulty so you can match your skill level and time constraints. Each one is vividly photographed and, when necessary, accompanied by clear diagrams to ensure happy results. Best of all, the stand-up format allows hands-free perusal so you can knit without dropping a stitch, referring to the instructions as you go.

What people are saying about Knit Wit:

"Amy Singer's lively introduction to knitting is well organized, and thorough. Her presentation of the basics is clear and complete, and like the best of teachers, she anticipates the pitfalls of the beginner. The practice projects are fresh, witty, and wearable. It's a delight to be able to hold a print version of Knitty.com -- the freshest knitting around. " Pam Allen, Editor, Interweave Knits
