"Knit Green" offers readers ideas and information on how to be an environmentally conscious knitter, and offers environmentalists ways to make their own clothes, household items, and even pet toys.

Part of the "Slow" movement, knitting enters our consciousness as more than a sweater production method, but also as an environmentally sound way to decorate our homes and live our lives. Fashion-forward, enticing patterns and easy-to-digest essays and sidebars come together to help readers green-up their hobby and quicly and easily implement suggestions and strategies from the book.

Increasingly savvy, thisaudience wants a knitting pattern book that simultaneously explores the environmental options and issues available to knitters. Green knitters will find: Exploration of green avenues and product options including: organically farmed fibers, non-animal yarns, alternative or recycled fibers and yarns, fair work and fair trade companies and programs, buying local, sustainable farming and energy in yarn production, and more. More than 20 patterns that are fashionable and that tie directly into the topic being discussed. For example, the projects in the chapter on organic yarns will all use organic yarns.

Although there are a few titles on knitting with organic yarns, this will be the first book-length discussion and pattern collection covering all aspects of green thinking as it pertains to knitting.
