Books about knitting?

[jackandahat]

What are your favourite books about knitting? Not pattern books, but books talking about knitting - things like Yarn Harlot's books or It's My Party And I'll Knit If I Want To.

What do you like about them?

Any you'd say to avoid? (I know some of that is going to be personal taste, but I'm interested to know why.)

I really liked the first Mason-Dixon knitting book, "The Curious Knitters Guide". I found it before I found the blog. It is more a collection of short essays with a few patterns thrown in than a full-on story. I also found it to be screamingly hilarious. Their second book, "Outside the Lines", was very meh for me.

What was the difference between the two books? I'd forgotten about that blog, need to add it to the reading list, thanks for the reminder.

The second one didn't make me laugh. :) I'm not all that fond of the blog, either. *shrugs*
