The Knitting Answer Book {Review}
The art of knitting is new to me. I’ve tried it several times over the years but lack the patience to spend the necessary time to master the skill. Or so I thought…
Now that I have read The Knitting Answer Book by Margaret Radcliffe I think I could learn to knit at least on a basic level. I found the directions to be easy to follow, and loved that they could be understood by a left handed person too! If you are not a lefty, you have no idea the challenges we face in reading directions for most things!
This book covers everything from casting on (getting started) to selecting the right tools through fitting finished item. Oh and the picture tutorials are just so awesome. Even I could understand them. LOL..
Book Description:
Margaret Radcliffe’s classic Q&A guide is better than ever! This thoroughly revised and updated new edition gives expert answers to scores of new questions that knitters have asked since the first edition was published. You’ll find more than a dozen new cast ons and bind offs; new techniques for beading and knitting backwards; tips for making smooth stripes when knitting in the round and for measuring gauge on tricky fabrics, such as ribbing and lace; fresh information on interpreting patterns and adjusting patterns to fit; and much more!
I would recommend this book to those just starting to knit as well as to those that have been crafting for years. The tips and suggestions apply to all skill sets and will help you take your skills to the next level.
