Product Description

Product Description
Leading designer Debbie Bliss takes you, lesson by lesson, through the techniques and stitches of knitting, from casting on the first stitch to creating an intricate Fair Isle cardigan. Presented as nine workshops, each lesson builds on the skills already learned to ensure steady, confident progress. As well as teaching new skills, each workshop finishes with projects specially designed to put them into practise. The first lesson looks at materials and equipment, then takes you through most of the basic stitches and techniques. Subsequent lessons cover simple stitch patterns, Aran knitting, entrelac, and finishing and design techniques. Each lesson also presents a collection of stitches that builds into a library, and projects range from clothing for the family to cushions and a throw for the home. Packed with hundreds of colour photos and illustrations, this is an ideal how-to for beginners and a valuable reference for more experienced knitters.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must-Have for all Beginner Knitters, 9 Dec 2001
By A Customer
I am a complete beginner at knitting. This book is excellent if you want to start off with the basics - casting on, basic stitches etc. The author keeps you interested in the craft by including easy (they must be easy if I can knit them!)knitting patterns right from the early chapters of the book. The knitting projects/stitches etc become progressively harder - but never too difficult to understand and do. Having tried a few other beginners' knitting books, this is definitely the best.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent reference for beginners, 17 Nov 2001
By A Customer
I bought this book a couple of years ago when I was learing to knit, and still use it as a reference.
The instructions are very clear and well illustrated, from the basics such as casting on through to colourwork and aran. There is even a section on designing your own sweaters.
The book includes quite a few basic patterns demonstating the different techniques.
Definately recommended for beginners.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Knitting Book Ever!!, 9 May 2001
By A Customer
I brought this book a few months ago and being an intermediate knitter I found it so helpful. There is practically everything you need to know in this book whether your a beginner or more experienced! I found that this is a good reference book and I always use it to either learn something new or as a reminder on how to do certain stitches/techniques. I've also been to Debbie's teach-in class (in Islington) and it was fantastic. If your interested in knitting on any level - Get this book!!
