Mason-Dixon Knitting by Ann Shayne, Kay Gardiner, Steve Gross, Sue Daley (2006, Hardcover)

I like this book. Not your run-of-the-mill knitting book. Ideas are very fresh and I for one, am very motivated. Few knitting books inspire me to obtainable goals. Good for you, ladies! Thanks.

have enjoyed this book tremendously - i am a long time knitter - but this book has many delightful new tricks - written with a sense of humor.

this book is a hoot, it is great reading, very entertaining with lots of great useful patterns, down to earth understanding of every day needs for household knitted items, since Ann is from Nashville and I live in the Nashville area, I felt a bond of it was written by a good friend. Thanks girls for closing the gap on plain old fashioned knitting, the easy way to dress up almost anything!

This is a great book. It has beautiful pictures and some patterns I plan to use over and over again. Many are very useful and quick to knit such as the washclothes, hand towels, and baby bibs. The Absorba Great Bathmat made out of two stands of Peaches and Creme looks so fun to quickly knit. Many of the blankets look easy enough to knit but more complicated when finished. I keep this book on my coffe table so I can look through it often. The contents are divided in a unique way: being a beginner; knitting around the house; log cabin knitting; family projects; over the top, or true artists; and community knitting. One item I am anxious to knit are the felted boxes. The book is fun to read and it has several question and answer pages. I recommend this book for its uniqueness, beautiful pictures, and some very interesting patterns.

I purchased this book for my love, she is very in to knitting, and I must say she is very good at it. She saw this book in one of the local fabric shops and showed an interest in it. I then found it online for 1/2 the price. I gave it to her and she was so thrilled. There are so many very cool projects to make. She said that she didn't think this was going to be this fantastic by the looks of the cover. It is truly a great book.
