Simply out of this world ! I really could not believe my eyes when I saw this book- I love knitting and am a full blown ’nerd’, if you will, so I doubtlessly have been searching for a knitting book which is filled with elegant science fiction designs rather than cybergoth things with clashing colours for an incredibly long time.

I would say my favourite sections of the book were the fantasy and science fiction designs- I can't say that the comic books inspired knits were awful though, they just...more

I acquired a review copy of this book through netgalley.com. This book is due out in a month, & since I consider myself pretty nerdy, it was a definite request! The author of the book also writes a blogÂ which I invite you to check out! A recent nerdy knitty photo she just posted a couple of weeks ago

You definitely have to be a geek to appreciate this book. Patterns include:

* Hobbit feet slippers
* Firefly-inspired scarf, socks, hat, and jacket

(Full disclosure: I received a free review copy of this book from Andrews McMeel Publishing.)

Knits for Nerds has a simple concept: if you like to knit and you like to geek out, you will want to make projects inspired by popular sci fi, fantasy, and comic book characters and themes.

The book opens with a brief intro from Toni Carr (a.k.a. Joan of Dark), sharing her own childhood introduction to all things geeky. The book is organized into four sections: Fantasy, Science Fiction, Comics and Manga,...more

This collection of fandom inspired knits is just fantastic. Toni Carr got contributions from other designers and put lots of her own patterns in the book. There is a good range of skill levels as well, so beginners will have patterns they can use, and more advanced knitters will also find some lovely lace items. The patterns are written out clearly with fun photos of finished items.

The patterns are written out clearly with fun photos of finished items.

As a long time geek, I was thrilled with the books and movies covered.

The Lord of the Rings inspired Toni Carr's pair of hobbit slippers and Ashley Fay's Light of Eärendil Shrug, a lacy ethereal shrug patterned with leaves.

Neil Gaiman's Death and Mr. Nancy both make an appearance in felted knit hats. A tiny top hat for Death and a bright green fedora for Mr. Nancy.

Firefly makes a strong showing with the Aim to Misbehave Brown Jacket, cunning socks and a cunning scarf.

Star Trek is covered with a Next Generation sweater, an original series mini dress and tribbles.

Also covered are Doctor Horrible, Real Genius, The Big Bang Theory, Temeraire, Harry Potter, Wicked Lovely, Star Wars, and Doctor Who in a variety of projects like fingerless gloves, stuffies, sweaters, shawls and bags.

For the male geek, there is a unisex Harry Potter inspired book bag, a sweater that looks like a Star Trek- The Next Generation Uniform, a wonderful cabled sweater vest and Mr. Nancy's Hat.

The end of the book includes a key to commonly used knitting abbreviations, and an overview of how to knit with photographs.

My daughter, who is a proud nerd and fan, and who loves to knit snatched this up as soon as we got it, and took it for 3 hours. She chortled and giggled and got very enthused. Her favorite patterns are the above mentioned green fedora, the cape pictured on the cover, and Aim to Misbehave jacket, which is a lovely longer jacket for Browncoat fans and the Big Bang Theory Raj inspired cabled sweater vest.

My favorite projects are the shrug mentioned above, the Super Awesome Fantastic Mega Super Cute Manga Leg Warmers which are flared to look just like illustrated chibi style legs, the colorful Tank Girl socks (I love Tank Girl!), and the adorable, quick to knit, button eyed Creepy Filler Bunny.

Toni Carr's Knits for Nerds was published today, and never, in my life, have I regretted being a crappy knitter before.

Until today.

The first thing I noticed was from the introduction--all the pictures were taken at NEIL GAIMAN'S HOUSE.

I can has?

There are only five patterns labeled "Easy" out of the 30+ patterns in the book, three of which are scarves--but really cool scarves. One is an easier version of the classic Dr. Who scarf:--basically this, but skinnier (and perhaps a little shorter). Unfortunately for me (but fortunate for all those who are more skilled knitters out there), there are some truly awesome patterns in here.

If I'm going through what I desperately want to add a +5 modifier to my knitting skill for, the number one thing is Carr's "Aim to Misbehave Brown Jacket." It's gorgeous, and I want it! Based on Firefly's Browncoat pattern, I couldn't help but think that River Tam would have had a Browncoat in this pattern. And as long as I'm on the Firefly themed patterns, the cunning scarf (one of the easy patterns) and the cunning socks might go well with the Jayne hat I crocheted for my brother-in-law a few years ago. Yeah. You know you want one (and knit patterns for the hat can be found all over the internet).

Other beautiful things I loved? The "Secret Beaded Bag." Done in purple tweedy yarn and embellished with some really pretty beads, it's inspired by Herminone Granger's Bag of Holding from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. The "Light of Earendil" shrug is delicate and beautiful, and way beyond my skill level. It features a leaf pattern and beading, and makes me wish I was the kind of English teacher who could get away with the ethereal kind of clothing (all I can get away with is my tie-dyed skirt). One particular strength of this collection is the number of bags--including a laptop bag which can be spread out to make a chessboard.

My enthusiasm for these patterns not withstanding, there are a few bombs, which one would expect. The Princess hats (all based on Star Wars hairstyles) are a bit silly (though I can definitely see how "Padme's Battle Cape" would work for roller girls), and the Catwoman hat is patently ridiculous. And to be honest, I wasn't much of a fan of many of the patterns in the third section of the book that dealt with comics and manga, but that's more of a style thing on my part than a reflection on the patterns. Also, the sci-fi trivia used to fill in blank spaces at the ends of patterns is a bit hokey--if you've bought this book, you know the answers to these questions.

There is a fairly good how-to section at the back of the book to assist those novice knitters, like myself. Now if I can just get to where my purling doesn't look like a cat has taken its claws to my yarn.....

Overall, there is more good than bad in this book, and the "Aim to Misbehave Brown Jacket" is worth the price of admission alone. If you're a geek crafter, this is definitely a book for you. Grade: A-

I have to admit – I can’t knit. I want to but it’s just not a skill I possess. That doesn’t stop me from looking at knitting books and dreaming. Most books are just variations of the same patterns. This one, however, caught my eye with the possibility of something so outrages that I would just have to learn to knit.
I was slightly disappointed in the patterns because they really did come off fairly normal but this book is so fun I didn’t care. It’s the perfect book. Toni Carr is witty and thoroug...more

I cannot even tell you how very disappointed I was in this book. I will admit that I had high expectations, but to have nothing in the book tug at my geeky heartstrings at all? And beyond that, to actually be a bit embarrassed by how bad most of the patterns (and photography!) are? Yeah, "disappointed" is an understatement. Sadly, most of the projects in this book are boring at best. At worst they resemble something a kid from the 70s would wheedle his grandmother into making when she had no rea...more

I really enjoyed reading this book. Unfortunately I don't know how to knit. So when I meet one who does soon, I'll suggest the designs in this book. :)

This book has a variety of nerdy designs that not only can be worn by nerds and fans but also by anyone because a lot of the designs can blend with everyday clothes. Although some designs can only be understood by fans and nerds people can find them interesting to look at and use.

Anyways, there are only 30 designs in this book...more

The introduction to this book says, “[T]hese patterns have something for every kind of nerd!” and that’s no lie. This book has knittables from Star Trek to Firefly, from American Gods to Tank Girl - and, of course, The Lord of the Rings.

Honestly, all they had to say was “Tank Girl,” and I was sold. Sadly, this is one of the patterns that is “inspired” by the original instead of being built straight from it. That will not, however, stop me from knitting them… just as soon as I finish a couple of...more

There's so much nerd/knitter overlap, it just surprises me that it took this long for this book to be written!

Knits for Nerds has a wide variety of patterns -- ranging from the ridiculous (Hobbit Feet slippers, complete with hair) to the lovely (the Summer Queen shawl, a pretty, delicate lace number). Some of the patterns are rather costumey (the Princess Leia hair-bun hat comes to mind) but many are quite wearable even for people who aren't into wearing their nerdiness on their sleeves; in fact, some of the patterns are just good, solid basic patterns, made nerdy only by virtue of the colors used. The inspirations come from all corners of geekdom; not just things you'd expect like Doctor Who and Firefly (both of which have given rise to many a knitting project) but also from Neil Gaiman's books and Tank Girl. There are also several generically geeky patterns: a tie; an e-reader/tablet sleeve; a laptop bag that doubles as a travel chess board. And, of course, there are sweater vest patterns inspired by the Big Bang Theory.

All of the yarns used in the book are inexpensive and easy to find (Knitpicks, Lion Brand, Patons, etc.); the only ones that I, personally, cannot find at my local big-box Michaels or AC Moore are Knitpicks, Berrocco, and Cascade 220, which are all certainly easy to come by online or at yarn shops. There are patterns for all knitting levels, from the beginner to the person who enjoys a challenge. Patterns are either charted or written out, not both. There is a glossary of terms and a how-to section at the end of the book which covers all techniques necessary to complete the patterns.

My only complaint about the book was that I found the pictures to be very dark and hard to view -- but to be fair, I was viewing a PDF galley on a Nook Color, and have noticed this problem with other knitting books I am currently reviewing. I think it is a problem specific to the galley/e-reader combination; I will compare once I see a printed copy of the book.

I would recommend Knits for Nerds to all my nerdy knitter friends -- of which there are many. I look forward to seeing finished projects from the book at this year's New York ComicCon...and who knows, maybe I'll knit and wear one myself! I do love me a good sweater vest...

This is my first time reviewing a non-fiction book, I've read them before, but I've never reviewed them before. I'm not going to be reviewing non-fiction books much, but I might once in a while. This review is going to be different than my other reviews.

This book has many different patterns, from lovely patterns to some ridiculous/silly ones; and from costumes to everyday wear. There is something for everyone in this book.
Plus, the author mentions that she (I think it's a she) likes the Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead, which, as I'm sure you all know, is one of my most favourite novel series ever! That's where she got the inspiration for the first thing (Alchemy Scarf) that she teaches us how to make.
It has a few different sections: Section 1= Fantasy, Section 2= Sci-fi, Section 3= Comics and Manga (yay, I love manga!), and Section 4= Other Stuff for Nerds.

There are patterns for all knitting levels, from beginners to advanced (which I'm -sadly- obviously not). Patterns are either charted or written out, not both. There is a glossary of terms and a how-to section at the end of the book which covers all techniques necessary to complete the patterns.

To be honest, I can’t knit very well. I want to but I just can't, maybe I will in a few years, but right now, not so much, (which means that I haven't tried knitting any of these yet). Yet I still look at knitting books and imagine myself knitting them and then wearing them in public. This one caught my eye because it looked like it would be so much fun to knit (plus it had the word nerd in it, which means that it would most likely be awesome). I'll have to get my mom or someone else to knit some of the stuff in the book for me. Plus, there are many pictures to show you what the item that is being made should look like.

Toni Carr is very entertaining and makes me want to practice knitting again (when I was 12 years old, I wanted to learn to knit and I got good at it too, but after I got older, I stopped practicing and now I'm worse than I used to be six years ago.

A few other things that I liked about this book are the colours of the layout of the pages, like: the title of the item that is being made is purple with a blue outline, and the column where the materials listed has a blue background in the first section, which is the fantasy related items. I'm obsessed with the colours blue and purple.

Overall, I enjoyed and loved this book. The only problem I had with this book was that when I was reading on Aldiko on my phone, it was hard to read most of the words, I think the words would have been easier to read if I downloaded the book to my computer instead.

I recommend this book to anyone that wants to learn to knit some nerdy things, people who love reading and looking at knitting books, people who are looking for ideas of what to wear (costume) to any comic con they're going to, etc.(less)

As a knitter and a lover of many things considered “nerdy,” I was excited to pick this one up. Knits for Nerds is by Joan of Dark (aka Tori Carr) whose last book, Knockdown Knits, was inspired by roller derby. This time she tackles the nerd community with patterns inspired by things considered geeky, including television shows, books, comics and video games.

The book consists of 30 patterns divided into the categories of Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Comics & Manga, and Other Stuff. The patterns range from easy to intermediate with the Browncoat sweater or lace shrug probably being the most complicated projects. The patterns range from small accessories such as fingerless gloves, hats and scarves to larger items like shawls and sweaters. There are quite a few toys to knit in the book as well as a pair of socks. There is a brief Tips & Techniques section at the back of the book but it’s more of a refresher than a how to knit section. I’d suggest getting a book dedicated to learning to knit if don’t already know how before starting.

I had a lot of fun going through this book. The projects are inspired by things near and dear to my heart. The photos were even shot in Neil Gaiman’s house, which made me do a fangirl squee when I read it. My favorite projects were the most wearable ones, such as the Vampire Academy inspired Alchemy Scarf and the Firefly Browncoat Sweater. There’s a really beautiful cable shawl inspired by Melissa Marr’s Wicked Lovely series. Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog is represented by a pair of really cute, striped arm warmers. There are a pair of vests for men and woman from The Big Bang Theory that look quite cute and wearable. The Space Princess Hat and Cape (seen on the cover) are really cool but are items that I, personally, would not wear and therefore I would not make. I was kind of disappointed in the Dr. Who inspired Time Traveler Scarf. The colors are more pastel than the Dr. Who scarf I am used to and I would not have made the connection if not for the project title. There are also some fun, little projects like a checkerboard and a Gryffindor bag that would make good gifts.

While not all of the projects in this book are the most practical (do I want my feet to look like hairy hobbit feet?), it was certainly fun to go through this book and see projects that were inspired by some of my favorite movies, games and comics. For me, this gets a little bit of a lower rating because I can’t see myself, personally, wearing too many of these knits. However, I can see a lot of these projects appealing to others. Fans of cosplay will find lots of cool, inspiring things to make in this book.

Filled with a wide variety of patterns, Knits for Nerds is a great gift for the fanboy, fangirl or crafty person in your life.

Loved the idea, but there were only a few projects I actually got excited about, namely the Princess Leia hair hat on the cover, the laptop case and the manga legwarmers. Most are just inspired by awesome nerdy tv shows and movies, like Firefly, but the in the execution, I wasn't feeling it. The Pure Genius sweater? Just a brown sweater. Still some of the projects were fun and inventive like the Firefly scarf and sock (instead of the typical hat.)

I am a big nerdy crafter, and when I saw Knits for Nerds, I couldn't resist taking a look. There are so many different projects, ranging from beginner to novice. The patterns were simple and easy to follow. What I really appreciated was the many colored photographs for each project. Not only was it easy to see what the end product was supposed to look like, but it was fun to see DIY knitted costumes.

LOL. If you are a nerd, or know someone who is a nerd, then this is fun stuff for you. Instead of knitting snow flake pattern, why not a red and black Star Trek sweater. Or a princess hat. I'm not sure if the pattern really work, but it is worth to check it out.

If anyone feel the need to knit, a Doctor Who traditional rainbow color overlong scarf would be just fine.

This is a good idea, but I feel that it suffers somewhat from the limitations of the designs, which are quite simple designs "inspired by" nerdy texts and then highly styled to make them look nerdier. I was particularly disappointed with the Star Trek dress; it looks boxy and sloppy. The addition of cutesy quizzes in the book felt patronising, and a poor imitation of other, stronger craft books such as the Anticraft book. When there are so many amazing "nerdy" projects out there on places like R...more
