Book Reviews of The Knitter's Companion: Expanded and Updated (The Companion series)

Book Review: good reference
Summary: 5 Stars

I've been knitting for years, but some of the hints in this book are new to me and are great for making the finished product look really good. The section on joining pieces was particularly valuable for me. I also like the spiral binding, which allows you to refer to it while both hands are busy holding knitting needles. The illustrations are also very clear.

Summary of The Knitter's Companion: Expanded and Updated (The Companion series)

This favorite knitting guide features new color drawings that illustrate the close-up detail of stitches, gauges, joins, seams, borders, and buttonholes—and new photographs that show off the finished pieces. New tricks and techniques are also introduced, including alternative ways to cast on, bind off, and increase stitches, and up-to-the-minute stylish accents are provided in expanded sections on color knitting techniques and the use of tassels, fringe, and beads. Tips for the best possible results are included throughout, and the handy format of the book (it fits easily into a knitting bag) has been enhanced with a hard cover and a concealed spiral spine that allows the open book to lie flat.
