This book arrived on my doorstep yesterday. This is Larissa & Martin Brown's new book. It chronicles the rich history of the "Knit-A-Long". Larissa has ocassionally given little peaks of the project photos on her blog, Stitch Marker, which is always refreshing and inspiring. The internet and particularly knitting blogs have really contributed to the rise in popularity of the "knit-a-long." Larissa documents this beautifully. Well, I couldn't wait to snuggle in and go through the book. First, I slowly looked at the pictures and then I started reading. I stayed up much too late but I just couldn't put the book down. Now I have a list of projects I want to try. The Pinwheel Blanket and the Barn-Raising Quilt are at the top of my list. My fingers just itch to knit!
