Enjoy the practical advice, real-life knitting instruction, and irreverent humor of Yankee Kay Gardiner and Tennessean Ann Shayne, the duo behind the renowned knitting web log masondixonknitting.com. 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. Full-color photography of these delightful home- and family-inspired knits accompanies each project. Along the way, Kay and Ann will introduce you to incredible knitting personalities, share their own knitting experiences, and present eye-popping knitting phenomena. Mason-Dixon Knitting explores the humor, fun, and outrageous possibilities of a realm in which knitting is much more than a craft—it’s a lifestyle.

Inspires creativity
| Customer Rating: | 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'
| Customer Rating: | | 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
| Customer Rating:  | | Interesting book with fun projects. The illustrations are enticing, making a knitter want to try creating using the easily understood directions. |
Mason - Dixon Knitting

Beautiful pictures, well written patterns, funny and touching stories, I would recommend this book to knitters of all skill levels.

My FAVORITE KNITTING BOOK of All time!
| Customer Rating: | | I LOVE this book - and frankly have an addiction to many items. I come back to them over and over. I have also forced my addiction onto others who now know where my addiction comes from. The ballband dishcloth, the burp cloth, the mitar square - how did I live without these in my knitting world? I have made the patterns in the book as well as making modifications to them over and over. You will never get sick of this one. I will treasure this book FOREVER! Get this book - you won't be sorry! And don't forget to check out the ladies' blog - great stuff! |
