About this ebook
Grab the opportunity to knit when you’re commuting, socializing, or just waiting around—with these highly portable projects!
People who love to knit are determined to find time to practice their craft, despite the many roles they fulfill throughout the day. They knit while traveling or commuting, while waiting for their kids, while socializing. Times like these call for projects that are easily transportable and have stitch patterns that are simple to memorize.
Véronik Avery has created 30 such projects for Knitting 24/7, a collection of stylish clothing and accessories that make use of those “in-between” times when we’re busy, yet our hands are free. Ranging from sweaters, scarves, and shrugs to hats and mitts, the projects represent both what knitters want to wear and what they actually have time to create. The book’s gorgeous color photographs capture knitters in a range of settings—a morning at work, a dinner with friends, a relaxing weekend afternoon—evoking the time of day when each wardrobe item might be worn.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5There's a surprising amount of variety in this collection. Clutch bag, grocery bag, and a skirt in addition to the expected scarves, socks, mittens, and hats. I'll be coming back to this one.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Book Review:A perfect book for the On the Go Mom. As a knitter, I know how it feels to want to knit 24/7 but realistically as a mother we know that is literally impossible. There are dishes, and laundry to be done that are keep you from your knitting. What about those moments in between where you could easily be multitasking, like, standing in line at the post office, or commuting on the train to drop your daughter off at dance.There are great moments to sneak in some knitting and this is a book full of patterns that make great projects for those in-between moments. They have consistent patterns that are easily memorized and can be worked up while keeping your Mommy ears on instead of having your mind buried in a pattern. All these projects can be knitted quick and easy, which makes this a great book for the busy mothering knitter.I give this book 5/5
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5at least 3 patterns worth knitting, good methodsincluding toe up socks with reinforced garter st heels and toes.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This collection of patterns is fresh and exciting. The variety is nice. Socks, hats, sweaters and more. The instructions are well written and the pictures are very good.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Lots of fun projects, mostly small, for the experienced knitter. i was particularly thrilled to find a pattern for a good string bag, such useful things! And some some lovely mittens/scarves.However, if you are a beginner, this may not be for you. The projects are small, but they require chart reading and a good familiarity with a variety of stitches. Great on the go stuff for knitters who are comfortable memorizing a chart and can keep it in mind, and know what a tbl and ssk are without having to look them up.
