"The percentage of women under forty-five who knit or crochet has doubled since 1996," says Stoller (The BUST Guide to the New Girl Order), co-founder of the Stitch 'n circle in New York, and this slightly offensive, sassy guide-which could easily have been subtitled 'The Bad Girls' Guide to Knitting'-will undoubtedly appeal to this new generation of knitters.

Starting with the basics, Stoller explains how to cast on, knit, purl, and bind off, all the steps needed to make a simple Ribbed-for-Her-Pleasure Scarf or a pair of Pippi Kneestockings. Easy-to-decipher diagrams and droll section headings ("Knit Happens," "Oops, I Knit It Again") ease readers through these first steps and will give most the confidence to tackle larger projects-like Cricket's Technicolor Cozy or Meema's Felted Marsupial Tote-designed by Stitch 'n ers in Stoller's group and other knitters she admires.

What makes this guide exceptional, however, is its chapter on the "Wonderful World of Knitters," which details how to start your own Stitch 'n circle and plug into the virtual knitting communities on the Web. Informative, colorful and full of attitude, this book is the perfect primer for 20- and 30-somethings looking to take on this hip "new" hobby. Copyright

Howdy ladies. J_9 please give me enough Margarita to fill my dogbowl, no salt. I have had a tough couple of days and to top it all off, while shopping today Magprob popped into my head! How incredibly unsettling is that? I noticed a big stack of Spam displayed in a prominent area. It seems that Hormel is celebrating 70 years of offering their yummy Spam to the general public for consumption. They are now selling it as a two pack special with the old advertising labels. Woo Hoo! I am sure Magprob is in Spam heaven.

OMG... I drove past a sign on the way to my mom's this weekend advertising the Spam Museum.

I thought of Magprob.

OMG!! How unsettling is a beautiful day of shopping that gets interrupted by the thought of Magpie!!

We do love you Maggie though, really we do!!

Oh my god now I'm thinking about him in handcuffs thanks for that I'm not going to sleep tonight lol

Yes, J, I heard about Ty's little misadventure. I always thought he was a heavy drinker.

Synnen, I have to say I don't know if I could drive by a Spam Museum. I would just HAVE to go in and take a look around. Too strange for me to pass up.

I have something he could be doing rather than drinking giggle

CBW, you bad bad girl,
