| This is certainly not the most exciting of knitting books but it is a handy little book for a knitter to have around (at least a beginning one like me) I have consulted it several times on things like how to measure gauge, fixing mistakes, how to knit into the stitch below, etc. It is set up in sections based on skills, like chapter one is casting on and chapter 4 is binding off. In chapter 1, they discuss several different cast on methods with illustrations of how to do them, then they have a common questions and answer sections. For example, in the casting on chapter they ask what is the best cast on for sweaters? For scarves? For socks? etc. They also have a problem solving section that asks questions like what if my cast on is too tight, how can I fix it? This book is a small little book about 4X6 in size and is a great little reference manual. |
