From Library Journal
This book includes projects designed to appeal to the new Gen-X knitter and uses such currently popular materials as super-chunky wools, ribbon, and metallic yarns. Among the 18 projects are a felted tote bag, a hooded sweatshirt, a ribbed tank top, and chunky hats that should knit up in no time. Inexplicably, the "Knitting Basics" section at the end of the book does not include information on the knit and the purl stitches, so this project book will have to be used in conjunction with a basic how-to-knit instruction book. Recommended for all public libraries patronized by hip knitters. You know who you are.
