This is my current favorite pattern book-- The Knitted Odd-bod Bunch by Donna Wilson.
Well, I've never been compelled to actually buy pattern books until I saw this one, because the creatures are so weird and I realized that I need to make all of these things right away and give them to people and keep a bunch for myself and omgfun. For Christmas I got a little stack of hobby books, including a baby hat book (because I love to give those as gifts) bringing my total number of pattern books up to Two.

The style of the book is very homemade and oddball and reminds me a lot of Amy Sedaris's books (this would be right up her alley, really). Some of my favorites:
Love them. I'm in the middle of making the twins right now.
They're knitted flat on straight needles and then sewn together (or at least the twins are, I haven't tried anything else yet), and I forgot how little I knit on straights. I pretty much do everything on circulars. I would have used them for this but I don't have circs in a 4. I should really get some sort of set and just chuck all the straights out the window..

Everything is great :)
