Recenzii

Knitting and nerdiness are actually quite compatible. They both involve being passionate and knowledgeable (occasionally to the point of obsession) about your hobby. People have tried to combine the two into pattern books before, with much potential but disappointing results, I have to admit. Not so with Sue Culligan's new book,Tech Knits. This is for the knitter who not only wants to make a cute nerd rocket mobile for their children but also recognise the retro irony in a cassette tape smart phone cover, a circuit board scarf or ray gun placemats. Embrace you inner geek with these quirky, cool projects.
