Reviews"Museum curator and graphic designer Schlömer's appealingly photographed and artfully laid-out guide charts a rigorous course for knitters interested in converting various texts and typefaces into knitted items." - Publishers Weekly-- -, "It's quite an inspirational book that is sure to get you thinking about different ways to leave your mark with text on your knitting projects." - Craft Gossip-- -, "Now that pixels are becoming invisibly small on our computer screens, it's time to bring bitmaps full circle, back to their function as building blocks of material that you can keep, and, in this case, that can keep you warm.
