I can't wait to get me a copy of Stitch 'N Bitch Nation, the follow-up to the ever-fabulous modern knitters' bible, Stitch 'N Bitch. I became positively giddy previewing the projects, from hip sweaters and hats, to ironic little baby clothes, to fuzzy gadget cozies, oh my! I learned how to knit largely from the well written instructions in Stitch 'N Bitch, and I'm hoping to pump up my skillz with the advanced techniques explained in the new book. Now if I can just finish that baby blanket!

Author Debbie Stoller is a uniter, not a divider, and she's rolling to bookstores all over our broken country starting this month. She'll be in San Francisco in January.
