Product Description
From Library Journal
Imagine browsing through the nation's top yarn shops and chatting with owners about the projects that most appeal to their customers, how they got into the yarn business, and what they have learned about knitting through the years. Then imagine including everything you've learned along with 33 original patterns from 33 local yarn shops in a richly illustrated pattern compendium. The result would be Knitter's Stash. Featured here are stores throughout the country from Bette Bornside's shop in New Orleans to My Yarn Shop in Coos Bay to Countrywool in Hudson, NY, to Rumpelstiltskin in Sacramento. And for the knitter who likes to travel and what knitter doesn't? there is a comprehensive directory of yarn stores all over the United States. Highly recommended for all knitting collections.

From Booklist
What does it take to make a knitter happy? A rainbow of colors and textures, intriguing and challenging designs, and, most important, a knitwear shop owner who is knowledgeable, sympathetic, and open to customers. All those winning elements form the basis of Albright's guide. More than 30 yarn shop proprietors contribute their favorite patterns, tips, and ideas. The designs span ages and seasons and difficulty levels (though none are so indicated); an easy-to-make classic tank top for summer, for example, contrasts sharply with a whimsical felt tea cozy. No matter whether an item is for wear or display, the pattern features color photographs, instructions, and great tips, from the best way to knit a sample swatch to setting in sleeves. Glossary, abbreviations, stitches, store directory, supplier list, and gauge chart appended. Barbara Jacobs

Wonderful Variety of knitting projects, Cardigans to Fish.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Knitter's Stash: Favorite Patterns from America's Yarn Shops (Hardcover)
This book is for someone looking for a variety of wonderful knitting projects. From basic children's clothing, to a Cottage Tea Cozy, to Felted Fish toys, this book has a little bit of everything. Some of the pieces are for the advanced knitter, but many are for the average knitter. There are many beautiful sweaters, including Marie Louise's Lace Sweater and a men's River Run Pullover. A good addition to my knitting library.

Great for the wannabe yarn store owner,

This review is from: Knitter's Stash: Favorite Patterns from America's Yarn Shops (Hardcover)
This book is inspiring for people who may want to open a yarn shop. The designs are not for beginners. I just wanted to read the book and the tips. Not do the patterns. The book is too large and the title is not representative of the content. I would recommend the book for knitters looking for challenging projects and using expensive yarns.

Please don't buy it,
By F. Liu (Prince George, British Columbia Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Knitter's Stash: Favorite Patterns from America's Yarn Shops (Hardcover)
There are only few patterns available for such big book, and they range from odd-looking vest to no-use-felted-fish. Unless you can preview the book and find some of the pattern attractive, I think you shouldn't take the risk buying it.I give it 2 stars instead of 1 because it might be an OK book, if you don't care about the undesirable patterns but you wanna learn about different yarn shops in the US.
