"It Itches: A Stash of Knitting Cartoons" is an affectionate, humorous
celebration of every aspect of the craft from buying (and hiding) massive
quantities of yarn to wrestling with projects that go seriously awry to
prescriptions for alleviating the stress brought on by holiday knitting to
wreaking revenge on recipients of handknits who stuff them into the back
of the bottom drawer."It Itches" is the first of its kind to mix cartoon
humor with short essays on knitting.Franklin Habit is known for his witty
writing and his New Yorker-style cartoons about knitting and life.
His cartoons address the undeniable urge to purchase yarn, the (mostly)
friendly rivalry between knitters, and the expression of love through yarn
and needles. The book includes seventy-five cartoons, deftly rendered in
pen and ink with watercolor wash, in addition to humorous short essays on
various themes of the knitting life. Every knitter will find himself or
herself in this collection.
