I imagine readers of Stephanie Pearl-McPhee's weblog and books will thoroughly Understand how difficult it is to get just that perfect thing for a beloved fiber artist and have to WAIT to give it to them. So of course, I've peeked ahead, and this is going to be a well-loved daily calendar.You read me right:Daily.Calendar.I don't expect it to have hardcover book quality, or even necessarily keepability, the publisher has placed it righteously in that page-a-day calendar production quality. There will be pages ripped out and smacked on this board in the studio here, over the desk(s) at home and at work, and magnet-pasted to the fridge, for a while, and juicy lovely tidbits will be preserved. Which days' delights will my beloved knitteuse choose? I'm not telling you my guesses!Which days will be your favorites?
I am a fan of Stephane Pearl-McPhee. She makes me laugh, she makes me think and, most importantly, she makes me want to knit more and more without making excuses to anyone for my pleasures. This little calendar is a book of pleasures. It is 365 pages, each with inspirational material from the Yarn Harlot herself. It helps weave a clear path to our inner knitter without feelings of shame or guilt. It shows us how to stand tall and say in unison, "I knit and I'm proud". I cheer the Yarn Harlot on and wish I could speed up time so I'd have more knitting done and so that 2010 would be here and I could start using this calendar. Like other knitters 'I knit therefore I am" and Stephanie Pearl-McPhee puts into words what our knitting needles are too busy to say.
Never Not Knitting! 2009 CalendarI know its not 2009 yet and YES this is a 2009 calendar but IT IS Stephanie Pearl-McPhee. I have flipped through it and read many of the entries. Very cool stuff and classic Pearl-McPhee. If you are looking for a great Christmas present for the knitter in your life, this is the thing to buy . . . even when 2009 is over, s/he will keep it!
Knitting is such a fun hobby! I have enjoyed the patterns and designs in this book. It has helped me relax and enjoy my surroundings. When I am knitting I feel so content and calm, I understand that knitting is very good for calmness and I have found it to be so. The designs are well written and I feel confident in my skill level as I work through this book. I love the color choices that they use for the different projects. My kids enjoy my calmness and the projects - they too have confidence. It is something that we can do together! Thanks for a good book, with good projects, and wonderful color schemes for the projects.
This woman is HILARIOUS! The calendar makes you laugh, provides interesting tidbits of knitting history and reminds us every day why we knit and love it so much.
Needlework takes up most of my limited spare time, but I'm a want-to-be knitter, and this calendar brings me a smile every day. Stephanie's wit, wisdom, and knowledge are wonderful, and not only can't I wait to get my calendar for 2010, I'll also get one for some friends.
This is a delightful, smart, and witty page a day calendar. It's well worth getting even if you are not a knitter (but one of of us is!).The only deficiency is that there were no directions on how to set up the plastic backer for the calendar! That's needed so that the calendar can sit on a desktop.The box and backer highlight that the backer is "recyclable", but it's attached with a plastic hinge and looks imminently breakable! It's unclear what one should do or how it will work. (We were used to cardboard ones in which one piece slides through another to make the angle backing.) We didn't want to force it or bend it back and have it break--which would have meant no desktop display.The trick is to go ahead and bend it back slowly and gently and it will, after a bit, snap into place. Whew!Maybe Workman Publishing can add a line to its boxes and its FAQs on the web about this!
The 2009 calendar was given to me as a gift by someone who had never known a time when I wasn't knitting. Well -- I had given it up ten years earlier, having lost all interest in the hobby. Page by page, the wit and charm of the Never Not Knitting calendar wooed me back to what had been my favorite hobby -- I made sweaters for Christmas, and am currently making a replacement Aran for my husband, I who swore I would never knit another Aran again. And I owe it all to the Never Not Knitting calendar. It should go without saying that the Never Not Knitting calendar is now a "must-have" among my stash of knitting accessories.Know this: If you once knew and loved knitting, this calendar will get you back into it. Eventually. "Resistance is futile."
