“The Knitting Man(ual)” by Kristin Spurkland (Ten Speed Press, $24.95)
Readers won’t find any patterns for knitting “beer can cozies” in the book. But author and knitting instructor Kristin Spurkland does pay homage to men – whether they do the knitting, the wearing or both. Enthusiasts will find projects for contemporary clothing and accessories from sporty sleeveless hoodies to classic socks. The patterns are quality and stylish, while the palette is earthy and incorporates natural fibers. Full-color photographs for each project make this a must-have for avid knitters.
