Shannon Okey

This book is not about designing knitwear; it is a guide to being a professional in the knitwear industry. It covers social media heavily, how to behave professionally in the industry, the economics of patterns sales and interviews with knitwear designers.

Pros: There is a lot of good, current information in this book. The interviews with designers and editors are interesting and informative. There are online resources provided for almost every section. The importance of social media in modern knitwear design is covered extensively. Okey is not stingy with giving out advice or where to find more information.

Cons: A lot of the additional information are links to web sites. The majority of the links are still current, but some refer to sites that have already changed or folded. There are some interviewees with knitwear professionals who are notorious for acting unprofessionally. I found it distracting.
