Reviews for To Knit or Not to Knit: Helpful and Humorous Hints for the Passionate Knitter

I whipped through the book quickly on my first read, but I expect it is the kind of book that I will dip into here and there, for a quick laugh or pick-me-up. (...) Overall, I found the book to be a charming addition to my knitting library, and recommend it with no hesitation.

This collection of knitting-related essays and tongue-in-cheek answers to common casting-on problems, interspersed with real patterns, will put a wry smile on your face as your hands make magic with those needles.
