Literary-ish LA: A Women's Book Club

A women's book club originally started in 2016 on Meetup, looking to expand. We read mostly literary and contemporary fiction, or whatever grabs us.

Stitch 'n Bitch: The Knitter's Handbook

It's the essential guide for chicks with sticks--because knit happens.

From the tools of the trade to the knitty-gritty of techniques and patterns, all with easy-to-follow step-by-step illustrated techniques. Stockinette stitch, rib stitch, seed stitch. Increasing and decreasing. All the bells and whistles: fringes, tassels, cables, intarsia, crab stitch, and Fair Isle. Plus the stitch doctor's own special bag of tricks and how to hook up with other knitters. After the how-tos come the why-to: forty hop, stylish patterns, as good for beginners as they are for purely pros.
