The world's first comic-strip knitting book By Alice Ormsbee Beltran and Karen Kim Mar The world’s first comic-strip knitting book, Knitstrips presents 22 original patterns, boundless humor, and seriously appealing knitting instruction Inspired, original, and laugh-out-loud funny, knitstrips are patterns and knitting instruction mixed with advice and humorous commentary—and presented in illustrated comic book panels. Launched in 2016 on the mega-popular knitting site Modern Daily Knitting, the strips gained instant popularity and have attracted thousands of avid fans. The book includes 22 brand-new patterns and is designed to mimic a bound collection of comic books in a series: each “issue” with its own cover and wry theme—from yarn stashes to binge knitting—that is close to the heart of knitters. Issues offer four to six knitting patterns each, plus designer highlights and a variety of stories and technical discussions. The result is a fresh, lively knitting adventure that is like nothing the fiber world has seen before.The impressive roster of designers includes: Ana Campos Casey Rich Cecelia Campochiaro Hikaru Noguchi Jeanette Sloan Julia Farwell-Clay Julie Kornblum Lauren McElroy Natalie Warner Norah Gaughan Rebecca McKenzie Shery Cook About the authors:Alice Ormsbee Beltran is the creator of Knitstrips, knitting pattern comics launched in 2016, and is based in Long Beach, California.
