Here we go for this week.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This week I&#8217;d like to promote a book that&#8217;s out that is absolutely hilarious. Franklin Habit has released a collection of cartoons in a book called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Itches-Stash-Knitting-Cartoons\/dp\/1596680938?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1217862595&amp;sr=8-1\" target=\"_blank\">IT ITCHES<\/a>. Click on the title or front cover picture below for purchasing details. If you like to have a laugh about knitting, then this book is great. It is published through Interweave Press and is the brainchild of Franklin Habit, a knitter and spinner from Chicago.This is the cover of the book which I think is hilarious!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Itches-Stash-Knitting-Cartoons\/dp\/1596680938?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1217862595&amp;sr=8-1\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1202\" style=\"border: 2px solid black;\" title=\"3153155307_285bb00f67_o\" src=\"https:\/\/ittakesballstoknit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/3153155307_285bb00f67_o-e1278082875343.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"173\" height=\"168\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The book is great. It&#8217;s not just a bunch of cartoons either &#8211; there are essays written by famous people in history that you might not even realized were knitters. Here is an excerpt from the book &#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1203\" style=\"border: 2px solid black;\" title=\"poe\" src=\"https:\/\/ittakesballstoknit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/poe.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"253\" height=\"218\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There is also the continuing adventures of Delores the sheep. This book is 125 pages of fun that is sure to delight knitters and non-knitters alike. It would make a great gift as well!
