Get on Knit: Knitting Exercises To Help You Unwind, Not Unravel

By Josh Bennett

Get on Knit is a refreshingly relaxed and welcoming guide to the art of knitting that will help readers learn to knit clothes that they actually want to wear. From beginner's stitches to detailed patterns, author and knitwear guru Joshua Bennett uses humor and fun to guide readers through the basics, peppering his text with stories from his own unlikely journey to the top of the knitting world.

Written with Josh Bennett's signature wit and humor, Get On Knit is an exhaustive guide to knitting that is never exhausting. Organized and designed as an illustrated field guide, the book is broken down into three main sections: Learn Knit, Make Knit, and Design Knit. In the first section, first-timers and anyone in need of a refresher course will learn the basic tenets of knitting including what materials you need to get started, important terms to know, and how to perform basic knit and purl stitches. In the second section, readers dive head-first into the knitting process, learning how to perform cast-offs and bind-offs as well as basic steps for shaping fabric, and 25 different patterns ranging from simple looks to showstopping designs that are destined to impress even the most seasoned knitters. The third section is broken down by area of the body, and will teach readers how to take accurate measurements for designing: hats, beanies, and berets; socks, slippers, and leg warmers; cardigans, fisherman's sweaters, and hoodies; as well as scarves, wraps, and shawls.

In addition to teaching readers the fundamentals of knitting, Get On Knit is replete with diagrams and charts, glossaries and sidebars that will help readers understand the fundamental principles of knitting, including how to choose the correct yarn, needles, colors, and fabrics, as well as how to calculate increases and decreases, and how to problem solve issues when they inevitably arise. Packed with information and good humor, Get On Knit will teach readers to love the process of knitting as much as the final product they've created.
