are great companions to knitting. Is there anything better than taking a break from the needles to curl up with a new book? We think not. And today we received Interweave's newest offering: KNITTING OUT OF AFRICA. We are already intrigued. The patterns draw on African heritage and trends and look amazing. Some of our favorite techniques are incorporated-mitred squares, intarsia and the like. Come give this new book a peek!

And back in are favorites: KNITTER'S COMPANION, FELTED KNITS, FOLK SHAWLS, HIP TO CROCHET, and for those of us eager for some quick small projects SCARF STYLE and WRAP STYLE.
