Knitters, like all people, come in many flavors. There are the conservative, yet classy knitters that prefer their projects more tailored and sophisticated. There is the brave and intrepid knitter that likes HUGE projects with multiple charts and colors and needle changes. Scarf knitters, wash cloth knitters, afghan knitters, baby things knitters...and then there is me. I am an out-of-the-box knitter. The funky, oddball, stretch the rules kind of knitter. Leigh Radford understands and wrote a book just for me. OK, not just for me, but for all us that like to knit outside the lines. AlterKNITS is the title and there really is a pattern for a knitted screen door.
Practical? Probably not, but cool? Oh, to the max.
Alterknits is everything a great knitting pattern book should be. The pictures are clear, yet artsy, and each pattern itself is well written and easy to follow. And diverse. Really diverse. There is a pattern to knit little square covers for outdoor light strings, an innovative 
scarf/shawl..... honestly my description can't do it justice. We have several copies at the shop so come in and have a look for yourself. Maybe you'll even want to knit a screen door of your very own.
