    I grew up crocheting just basic stuff. I have been debating whether or not to take up knitting. Today, I saw this book and I'm no longer debating. I WILL learn to knit. I want to knit the whole galaxy!!!

    I bought this FANTASTIC book, sight unseen, just (to attempt) to make Barbara’s “Tai Fighter Hat and Mittens.” What a serendipitous experience! This is one of the ‘funnest’ knitting books I’ve ever seen. It brings me back to the time when I saw the original Star Wars films in the movies. I’d never before seen such visual effects. The sensations were overwhelming in a splendiferous way! It’s a great coffee table book, too. I love looking through it…You don’t have to be a knitter to enjoy it! Kudos @BarbaraBenson!

    Way to go, Barbara! The hat and fingerless mitts look crisp and pleasing color choices.

    I found out about this book through the newsletter of the makers of the yarn used in the Rebel Alliance Shawl. Saw shawl, saw _official_ Star Wars, saw it was the week of my birthday, was so there! Then saw it was complied by Tanis Gray (I'm not a big fan of her - wish I could figure out why, for some reason she just rubs me the wrong way). Decided to get it anyway. I was absolutely excited when it arrived. I started going through it - and became increasingly disappointed. I've seen other pieces inspired by the movies that I like so much better. But, then, all of a sudden, wait! There's Barbara Benson's name! Totally unexpected! :) That made me decide it had actually been worth getting the book. Yes, a few of the other patterns are very cute; just very few I'd actually make. Really happy that you were able to get a pattern in this!! Congrats!!

    • @WatchBarbaraKnit
      @WatchBarbaraKnit  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I am glad that my pattern fell onto the positive side for the book. I think the patterns are cute - but if you don't do stranded knitting there's a lot of that in there.

    I'm also a sci-fi fan, especially Star Trek and the original Doctor Who series. I've seen all the early Star Wars movies, but not any of the later ones. I should probably get around to watching those. I may have to add this book to my collection. Your referral link appears to be dysfunctional. I end up on a Whats New page when I follow it. I did find the book on the site, but even with 25% off, the price is less on Amazon with free Prime shipping.

    Row 1 - (RS), K0 (6, 0, 6), *P3, K9; rep from * to last 3 (9, 3, 9) sts, P3, K0 (6, 0, 6).

      The spots where your size says zero - you just don't do that thing. So your instructions are *p3, k9; rep from * to last 3 sts, p3.
