Both a celebration of knitting and a sourcebook for practical information, Knitting Rules! offers simple instructions for making hats, socks, and scarves, and sympathetic, emotional support. Pearl-McPhee examines essential truisms of knitting, side by side with tongue-in-cheek warnings, realities, and fantasies about the act of knitting and the people who do it. Unraveling the mysteries of what it is that makes knitting click, the Yarn Harlot is at her hilarious best!
