Everyday: A casual, modern hand-knit collection

by Jen Geigley, Joelle Blanchard (Photographer), Joey Leaming (Photographer)

Find something special in your everyday. ‘Everyday’ is a collection of 11 modern hand knits that are casual, comfortable and truly fun to knit and wear. The modern silhouettes of the tanks and sweaters in this book will work their way into every season of your wardrobe, on their own or as layering pieces. Chunky, bulkier yarns round out this collection with a cozy range of accessories to get you through the colder months. This book has something for everyone – new knitters may find their first sweater in these pages and experienced knitters will enjoy the combination of an advanced knitting stitch (like the Lateral Braid) with modern shapes. These pieces will appeal to the knitter who has an appreciation for fashion. I knit every day. Or nearly every day. Knitting has become an integral part of my existence – like music; like breathing. Knitting before bed is my nightcap, my zen. Knitting while I travel is one of my most favorite things to do. If you are a knitter, I know you feel the same. This hobby is a fundamental part of our everyday. Form or function? I don’t think you have to choose. When you are a knitter, you can have it all. Knit. Wear. Live life to the fullest. Make it just the way you want it. Make it your own. Fill your life with things that look cool and are easy to wear in your everyday.

Interesting designs

This book has several interesting modern knitting designs. Most are not to my personal taste, but i can definitely see these patterns being very useful for someone else. The Kindle version is a bit oddly laid out with photographs being cut off and patterns not really separated nicely. These photos are wonderful to show the various details in the patterns and the patterns themselves seem to be good for a beginner or intermediate knitter.

Fun to read, but nothing I'd use

The book was great fun to read, but the items are all in super bulky yarns. Not something I would personally enjoy knitting or wearing. There are some cute details, a racer back tank, for example. Overall, it's a book that I enjoyed reading but would not make any projects from.

all bulky yarn garter stitch

Not impressed. I just don’t get how this was made to a book. These could have been blog posts at best.
