"I have made this during lockdown and am very pleased with it. Very clever how the 9 colour combination worked out so well."

"Instructions not clear especially with the 11 stitches on hold. Where should I add them? Baby due in 3 days need to finish asap. Thanks"

"Tried to see the pattern and all that came up wa a page to support the guardian. That's all there was no way to exit out of it to maybe see the pattern page underneath"
Lisa
"Adding buttons will alter the look of the front of the sweater significantly and will most likely cause the pattern on both sides to pucker. the only way I can see that it might work would be to pick up stitches on the fronts to create a button band after the fronts are completed."

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. -(
