Synopsis

"Pints and Purls" is the book for social knitters and knitters on the go. It features more than 30 easy-to-follow patterns for great knits that even a beginning knitter can whip up without missing a beat in the conversation (or a sip of her drink).The patterns include a Drunken Sweater with asymmetrical sleeves, a felted six-pack carrier (the stitches are felted and mistakes magically disappear), simple socks, hats and scarves, plus wine charms, dishrags and more.Projects are rated by whether they can successfully be knit after one drink, a few, and even one too many - plus several options are reserved for 'designated drivers' up to a challenge. Ratings easily translate into how distracted a knitter can be by conversation or even a movie and still get the job done. In addition to the stylish patterns, the book features sidebars covering all the topics dearest to the hearts of social knitters everywhere, including information on fixing mistakes and shaking up tasty cocktails.
