false 2197804 1 The immensely popular knitalong—an organized event where people knit together for a common goal—has only grown with the explosion of the Internet. Yesterday’s wartime Red Cross sock drives have evolved into today’s meet-ups at locales as diverse as cafes, state fairs, and major league ballparks, as well as international online gatherings; in fact, at any given time tens of thousands of people worldwide are involved in knitalongs, organized around a particular yarn, a favorite social cause, an intriguing project, a special event, or myriad other themes. <BR><BR>Authors Larissa Brown and Martin John Brown present an inspiring look at centuries of people knitting together, and why knitters find the interaction so meaningful and worthwhile. Along the way, they offer 20 projects especially suited for different types of knitalongs. The Barn Raising Quilt and the Traveling Scarf, for instance, call on individual knitters to collaborate on a single project; while the Pinwheel Blanket and the Meathead Hat encourage a community of knitters to improvise on the same pattern to come up with a variety of results. Also included is essential information about finding, joining, and starting knitalongs. <BR><BR>Hundreds of knitters participated in the knitalongs hosted by the authors as part of their research, and this book will inspire thousands more to get involved in the knitalong movement. The only book that celebrates this tradition of community and purpose, <I>Knitalong</I> is sure to have a powerful impact. 2203552 15 3 2008 Knitalong: Celebrating the Tradition of Knitting Together total:75|5:1|4:2|3:0|2:1|1:0| 75 312 131 17 5 0 false false Mon May 04 08:33:44 -0700 2009 Mon May 04 08:34:20 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Tue May 05 10:27:59 -0700 2009 Tue May 05 10:28:35 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Jun 09 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 02 12:52:33 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 09 12:56:46 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Jun 10 23:51:58 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 10 23:52:36 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Thu Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Nov 03 20:23:27 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 03 20:24:02 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Fri Jul 03 09:21:39 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 03 12:07:02 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Mon Mar 31 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Mar 25 16:54:42 -0700 2008 Wed Apr 30 12:20:41 -0700 2008
