About This Book

Does the knitter in your life have a yarn stash that could supply a small shop, yet still claims they have 'nothing to knit with' for their next project? Do they touch every skein in sight to test its softness, carry knitting needles worth more than most people's monthly rent, and insist that knitting is cheaper than therapy (whilst conveniently ignoring their credit card statements)?

This collection of 100 hilarious jokes celebrates every delightfully obsessive habit that makes knitters so wonderfully unique. From the eternal struggle of SABLE (Stash Acquisition Beyond Life Expectancy) to the art of frogging projects for the fifth time because that tension just wasn't quite right, these jokes will have any knitter nodding along whilst laughing out loud.

Whether you're shopping for the evangelical knitter who gifts handmade jumpers to unsuspecting neighbours, the perfectionist who colour-coordinates their stash by weight and fibre content, or the yarn shop regular who knows every employee's life story, this book delivers perfectly pitched humour that only true knitters will fully appreciate.

Ideal for birthdays, Christmas stockings, Secret Santa exchanges, or as a cheeky addition to any knitter's project bag. Finally, a book that understands why buying cashmere yarn counts as 'an investment' and why having 47 WIPs is perfectly reasonable behaviour.

A Taste of What's Inside

Joke #1

My friend's yarn stash has its own ZIP code.

She calls it "retirement planning" but I think the alpacas are organizing a revolt.

Joke #2

My friend asked why I have 47 project bags when I only work on one thing at a time.

I told her that's like asking why I have hope.

Joke #3

I asked a knitter what SABLE meant.

Apparently it's not a fancy fur coat, it's having enough yarn to supply a small nation.

...and 97 more where those came from!

Who This Book Is For

This book is perfect for that knitter in your life who has seventeen WIPs scattered around the house, carries a project bag to the dentist, and can't walk past a yarn shop without doing a "quick browse" that turns into a two-hour expedition. If you know someone who has strong opinions about acrylic yarn, refers to their yarn collection as "an investment," and has been on the same yarn diet since 2019 with questionable success, they'll find every joke delightfully relatable. Partners, friends, and family members will discover this makes the ideal gift for the knitter who insists everyone needs a hand-knitted jumper and has turned the spare bedroom into a yarn storage facility that rivals most craft shops. It's a loving way to acknowledge their frogging marathons, their ability to assess yarn softness through shop windows, and their tendency to explain the difference between worsted and DK weight to anyone within earshot. Knitters themselves will appreciate having a book that understands why they photograph every finished project like it's heading to a gallery, why their browser history is 90% yarn websites, and why "just one more row" somehow turns into three hours of knitting. If you can laugh at your own SABLE situation and the fact that you've colour-coordinated your stash but can't find matching socks, this book belongs on your coffee table right next to your current project. Whether you're buying this for yourself or gifting it to someone whose knitting bag weighs more than their luggage, it's for anyone who finds joy in the beautiful madness of knitting culture and doesn't mind a gentle ribbing about their yarn-obsessed lifestyle.
