"This statement is exaggerated as this site has many patterns indicating specific yarn. Besides, with some experience knitters usually have enough knowledge of yarns, so an indication of yarn weight will suffice."
Lisa
"After you have cast off the stitches as instructed, you would have to move and reattach the yarn to continued with the pattern, this is not a "very easy" pattern, it is easy but not a beginner pattern."
Lisa
"The problem is not with the pattern, your great-grandson either has a larger head or longer neck, but is easily customized by lengthening the hood to customize it for him, instead of going to 8 1/2 " before the shaping you would knit to 10 or possibly 12" then start the shaping."
Lisa
"The instructions are quite clear, it is a pullover, that's why all the neck shaping instructions are there, no zipper, if a zipper was required it would be in the materials list."
Lisa
"None of the stitches are used for the hood, the hood is made separately, all of the instructions for the front are shown in the pattern, including the 10 stitch cast off you mentioned in your comment. Maybe it wasn't there when you left your comment, but it is all there now."

Knits for Nerds: 30 Projects: Science Fiction, Comic Books, Fantasy

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. -(
