Format:Hardcover
I have been knitting for years and I have a lot of knitting books. This is by far the best for starting with the basics (even great cast on and cast off techniques depending on the type of stitch you are knitting - which is a revelation to me) and then working through to more complicated stitch techniques, using more than one colour, finishing techniques, crochet for knitting etc. It is clear and concise and has lots of photos and illustrations. It even shows you how to alter knitted garments, which is great when your child's lovely knitted things are suddenly too short in the arm or body for them.
Please be aware, however, that there is not a complete knitting pattern anywhere in this book, for example for a jumper. But what is does give you is the know how, or the reference you need, to be able to tackle just about any knitting project.

Coming back to knitting garmets after quite a break, this book inspires as well as gives clear and accurate instructions on 'How To....'
After hunting through various titles, this book appeared the clearest, most uncluttered and useful book on all aspects of knitting, from simple to complicated. Well named and extremely useful. This single book has all you'll need to know to help create a wide range of projects - in one attractive volume. This is not 'Knitting 101' but starts at this level and takes you through to 'complex' and 'advanced' as your own skills and inclination progess. Recommended.
