Knitter's Book of Yarn: The Ultimate Guide to Choosing, Using, and Enjoying
Yarn by Clara Parkes 
Not all yarns are alike. Some make our hearts and hands sing, some get the
job done without much fanfare, and some cause nothing but frustration and
disappointment. The gorgeous pair of socks that emerged from their first
bath twice as long as when they went in. The delicate baby sweater that
started pilling before it even came off the needles. The stunning colorwork
scarf that you can't wear because the yarn feels like sandpaper against your
neck. If only there were a way to read a skein and know how it would behave
and what it wanted to become before you invested your time, energy, and
money in it. Now there is! With The Knitter's Book of Yarn, you'll learn how
to unleash your inner yarn whisperer. In these pages, Clara Parkes provides
in-depth insight into a vast selection of yarns, giving you the inside
stories behind the most common fiber types, preparations, spins, and ply
combinations used by large-scale manufacturers and importers, medium-sized
companies, boutique dye shops, community spinneries, and old-fashioned sheep
farms. And, because we learn best by doing, Parkes went to some of the most
creative and inquisitive design minds of the knitting world to provide a
wide assortment of patterns created to highlight the qualities (and minimize
the drawbacks) of specific types of yarns. The Knitter's Book of Yarn will
teach you everything you need to know about yarn: How it's made, who makes
it, how it gets to you, and what it longs to become. The next time you pick
up a skein, you won't have to wonder what to do with it. You'll just
know--the way any yarn whisperer would.

police suspect suicide, but Kelly and Megan aren't convinced. Soon Kelly
discovers that while Allison's career was on the fast-track, her social life
was a mess. A bad news boyfriend, a jealous design student, and a mysterious
man named Brian are all prime suspects in Kelly's book. Now it's up to Kelly
and her crafty friends from the House of Lambspun to unravel this tightly
stitched puzzle.

How to Knit a Love Song: A Cypress Hollow Yarn by Rachael Herron 

Abigail is more than ready for a change when she inherits a cottage from her
beloved mentor, knitting guru Eliza Carpenter. Leaving the oppressive city
for the greener pastures of a small California beach town, she intends to
turn her cozy little windfall into a knitting shop and spend her days
spinning, designing, and purling. But she's not going to be welcomed with
open arms by her new neighbor. Eliza's disgruntled nephew, the gorgeous
Cade, now owns everything surrounding Abigail's ramshackle new home, and he
views this sexy city girl as an unwanted interloper. But chemistry working
overtime is drawing two very different people closer than they ever thought
possible. And when the past that Abigail thought she'd left behind comes
calling, she'll have to somehow learn to trust her handsome adversary with
much more than just her heart.

The Knitter's Book of Wool: The Ultimate Guide to Understanding, Using, and
Loving this Most Fabulous Fiber by Clara Parkes 

In this complete guide to wool - the most popular yarn around - passionate
wool expert Clara Parkes translates the vast world of sheep and their wool
into the language and context of knitting. What is wool?Clara starts with
the fundamentals: what wool is made of, how it gets off the sheep, and how
it is transformed from a jumbled mass of dirty fluff into a gorgeous yarn
that so tempts us at our local yarn stores. Who makes it?Parkes conducts an
inspiring tour of sheep breeds from around the world - introducing us to the
animals who give us their wool - and explains how to best knit with yarns
made from their fibers. Which yarn do I use?If only there were a way to read
a skein to know how it would behave and what it wanted to become. Now there
is! Parkes demystifies the generic (non-breed-specific) wool yarn you'll
find at your local yarn shop, showing you how to best determine what every
yarn longs to be. What do I knit?Parkes went to some of the most creative

patterns that highlight the qualities of specific types of wool. The

The Knitter's Book of Socks by Clara Parkes 

A sock is a work of wonder. No other knitted garment has as many structural
demands or endures as much wear and tear. The humble sock must defy gravity,
suffer the confines of our shoes, and endure being trampled on all day long.
All too often, the root cause of a sock's triumph or failure is the yarn
itself. In The Knitter's Book of Socks, Clara Parkes shows you how to knit
socks from yarn up, following the sock yarn life cycle from its foundations
to its final moments on a proud foot. By understanding a sock's basic
needs--elasticity, strength, and moisture management--you'll learn how to
play with these tools like building blocks, confidently combining fiber,
twist, ply, pattern, and clever stitch tricks to construct your perfect pair
of socks. To help put these principles into practice, The Knitter's Book of
Socks also offers 20 fresh, original patterns from today's sock-design
luminaries, including Cookie A, Cat Bordhi, Ann Budd, Nancy Bush, Anne
Hanson, and Melissa Morgan-Oakes. The socks presented here run the gamut
from simple knit-and-purl combinations suitable for beginners to innovative
designs with lush colorwork, swirling cables, and delicate lace.
Understanding the elements of yarn is the first step on every successful
sock knitting journey. With this book as your guide, you'll learn how to
make any sock yarn shine and love every pair of socks you knit. From the
Hardcover edition.

Street Knitting Society and Yarn Club by Gil Mcneil 
For every woman who has ever dreamed of starting over, or being a better
mother, or just knitting a really nice scarf ... When her husband dies in a
car crash--not long after announcing he wants a divorce--Jo Mackenzie packs
up her two rowdy boys and moves from London to a dilapidated villa in her
seaside hometown. There, she takes over her beloved Gran's knitting shop--a
quaint but out-of-date store in desperate need of a facelift. After a rough
beginning, Jo soon finds comfort in a "Stitch and Bitch" group; a collection
of quirky, lively women who share their stories, and their addiction to
cake, with warmth and humor. As Jo starts to get the hang of single-parent
life in a small town, she relies on her knitting group for support. The
women meet every week at the shop on Beach Street and trade gossip and
advice as freely as they do a new stitch. But when a new man enters Jo's
life, and an A-list actress moves into the local mansion, the knitting club
has even more trouble confining the conversation to knit one, purl two. The
Beach Street Knitting Society and Yarn Club is an uplifting, winning tale
about the healing power of friendship and new beginnings. It's a charming
novel that will delight all passionate knitters--and win over befuddled,
would-be knitters, too.
