"love the pattern, but do you have to use these specific needles sizes? or can you take it down to say a 9 and a 6?"

"I just love mitered squares! They have so many uses, and once you know the basic idea you can use them for anything. These coasters are a perfect hostess gift or a stocking stuffer."
Susan S
"Very cute! This is one cozy I'd actually use - it has some style. I could see redoing it in different colors for different holidays or to match your favorite travel mug. Great pattern!"
Susan S
"This is very pretty. I used to hook rugs a long, long time ago and often want to do it again, but the commercial kits are just plain ugly. I will save this pattern in case I feel the urge again."
Susan S
"Another thing I could have made instead of bought for next to my front door. I could do this for my back patio door - and I just know the cat would enjoy it, too. I love cables, so it's perfect."

I'll be the first to admit it: I'm not a fan of Star Wars.  I know nerds and geeks everywhere are probably shrieking right now, but I can't force myself to feel what isn't there!  Now that that's off my chest, I will also admit that I do love Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings - and recently, Star Trek: Next Generation.  I'm also a huge sci-fi fan - whether it's books, movies or television shows, if it's science fiction, I'll check it out.  

 

That's what's great about Knit for Nerds by Toni Carr, even if you're not a fan of everything that's deemed "nerdy," you're bound to find something that appeals to you in this collection.  Knit yourself a laptop bag that conveniently converts into a chessboard.  After all, you never know when the mood for the ultimate chess match will strike you.  Got cold feet?  Knit your Tolkien-loving friend a pair of hairy hobbit slippers to keep toes perfectly toasty. 

 

Also included in this book, are patterns for socks, gloves, hats, legwarmers, bags and so much more!  While this book does a great job of providing nerdy inspiration from various television shows, movies and comic books, I wish at least one pattern would have been devoted to something from the X-Files. After all, I can't be the only closet nerd who is obsessed with Agents Scully and Mulder.

I wish it had said it was a review, but this was in the pattern section. There are no patterns. -(
