The ladies of Mason-Dixon Knitting will take you on a thrilling adventure through Knitopia, a place where knitting and creativity unite through the zaniest knitted items imaginable. Kay and Ann reveal that a pattern is a starting line, a launching pad, the front doors of Saks the day after Thanksgiving: oh, the potential!
Mason-Dixon Knitting is a collection of unbelievable patterns, a how-to manual, and a crazy quilt of hilarious narrative, all in one. In this book, Kay and Ann chitchat their way through a series of more than thirty incredible patterns. Drawing creative inspiration from their surroundings, they present colorful blankets, sassy nightgowns, a delicate curtain, and much more to reveal that knitting can weave its way into just about every aspect of life. Most of these projects are the epitome of ease, but you can make them as simple or complicated as you prefer.
Kay and Ann invite you to use your creative vision to interpret each pattern and give it your own personal touch.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
A Real Book for Real Knitters - A Gem!!!!! -
This is a quintessential knitter's book. It is wonderful in all aspects. It is filled with stories, vignettes, patterns and knitting history and mythology.
If you're looking for a good pattern, whether a piece of clothing or a festive lantern, you'll find it here. If you're looking to find out more about knitting's social history or stories about knitters, you'll find that as well. There are resources galore and the book is fun to open up and read - - again and again.
There is a wonderful section on color and how colors can be varied in one pattern for very different results. The mystery of the steek is unveiled enough for me to actually try one.
I plan on knitting the grocery bag, the boy's skater sweater, the cardi cozy, the knitted plaid shawl, the green coat, the Kiki Mariko Rug, the Liberty Throw, and the Baby Dotty. When and if I come up for air, I'll have a wonderful set of gifts for the loved ones in my life. I'll also have this book to look at again and again and a stash of wool left over from these projects which I'm sure I can put to good use.
Happy Knitting to all of you!!

Inspires creativity -
What a fun book. The Mason-Dixon gals witty and clever and their patterns (mostly directions and suggestions) give new perspective to knitting. I made the "calamari" bath mat (a blast) and I am working on a log cabin blanket (beautiful and easy) and a ball band dishcloth (love slip stitch colorwork) right now.
This would be an excellent book for a newby knitter because it teaches useful techniques (picking up stitches, using multiple colors and types of yarn, encourages design) and a way to make things that don't really look like beginner projects.
Down Home Knittin' -
There's a little something for everyone to knit in Mason-Dixon Knitting. I love the concept of two friends, from different regions of the country, sharing their knitting experiences. The patterns vary from simple to challenging and cover a multitude of household to wearable items. I like the authors' encouragement for knitters to break free of patterns and create our own works of knitted "art." The book is like an excellent blog on knitting!
great ideas for craft projects - 
Interesting book with fun projects. The illustrations are enticing, making a knitter want to try creating using the easily understood directions.
