Celebrate your inner geek with 20 fun and easy projects! The future was once a beckoning landscape where technology would make all things possible. Space travel! Robot maids! Personal jetpacks! Mind-controlling ray guns! With Knits of Tomorrow you can celebrate this ideal world-that-never-was with original and creative projects that will appeal to any techno-geek-or those who knit for them. Knits of Tomorrow features a wide range of projects, all with a technological bent. They are mostly quick and simple-toys, accessories, and home decor items such as rocket-ship desk caddies, circuit-board scarves, and a robot pillow. There are practical projects as well-tablet covers, laptop bags, and iPod cozies. The playful and fun projects are primarily aimed at an audience with a nostalgic taste for sci-fi, video games, and electronic gizmos past and present. Review: Awesome unisez friendly easy to read and customizable patterns... - Patterns include the yarn weight for every project so that choosing substitute yarns is a breeze. No need to look up each yarn and exploring the weights and gauges...blah blah....Also, they are simple textured fibers, like cotton and wool, in either worsted or dk. Many patterns have only two colors making it a perfect project book for someone learning color-work. And as the cover suggests, these are not your grandmother's patterns. The patterns are perfectly geek chic and also many of them unisex, for even the toughest modern male critics to enjoy. Review: If geeky knitting is your thing, this is the book for you!!! - Pretty nifty book with some uber cool geeky ideas. I got this for my friend who is an avid knitter. She made me the robot pillow and a few other items. She loves this book.

This rating more for shape of book
When I received the book I had to wipe the cover off cuz it felt gritty. I also noticed as I was wiping the cover the book looked like some one dunked it into some kind of liquid

Stromblitze für unsere Teenies!
Das Buch ist wunderbar! Unsere Jungs sind begeistert! ("Stromblitze Mama!"). Ich habe schon einiges gemacht. Alles ist bebildert und sehr gut beschrieben. Keine Angst vor englischen Anleitungen! Sie sind so schnell verstanden. Soetwas könnte ich in Deutschland suchen bis ich Rentnerin wäre! Vermutlich würden mir dann auch schon die unendlich öden Modelle hier irgendwie gefallen. Ich werde es nie herausfinden, denn diesen doofen Trampelpfad hab ich Gott sei Dank nie betreten! Das Buch macht sehr viel Spass! Auf geht's: die Jungs brauchen unbedingt die Strommast-Socken! Blitz-sofort!

Good book with lots of easy patterns
I like this book; as I love things that are retro-futuristic. There are a good number of patterns, most of them are colourwork patterns with charts.

Very disappointing
This looked like it would be just my cup of tea. I like knitting and I'm a bit of a science nerd. It was really disappointing. The projects on the cover are pretty much the only half decent ones. Most of the others looked rubbish in the photos. I'm a bit gutted I spent money on this.

変でカワイイモノが好きな人に
ロボットや光線銃など、近未来的なアイテムから 電卓や電波塔みたいなお馴染みになったモノを図案化してます 編み込み柄を使ってオリジナル作品も作れるます この図案は判りやすいので英語が読めなくても大丈夫 ロボットのポットホルダーがカワイイです でも写真があまり出てこないので、写真をネットで探さないと判りませんでした 表紙のクッション柄よりカワイイ図案でしたが、編んだ写真がないのが残念 カセット柄スマホケースは編もうと思っています レトロなのにカワイイ

Stricken für Nerds und Geeks
Tolle Projekte, die durchaus auch für Anfänger geeignet sind. Das Buch selber ist zwar bunt aufgemacht, aber nicht so überladen, dass man sich schlecht konzentrieren kann.
