Book Reviews of The Knitters Bible
Book Review: New Knitter Alert: This book is a Godsend!
Summary: 5 Stars
I recieved this book as a gift when I first learned to knit 2 years ago. At the time it was the only book I found that offered the clearest instruction for learners. Definitons where concise and understandable and as for learning new stitch patterns the instructions were even clearer than the Vogue Stitch dictionary.
In the last 2 years I have collected and read a variety of knit books that I love but I keep going back to this book for it clarity when another pattern is convoluted or sometimes missing a step or two.
This is a nice little helping hand that you will use often.
Summary of The Knitters Bible
The essential handbook for knitters of all skill levels. Getting Started goes back to basics, with an overview of the yarns and equipment available today. It then takes you, step-by-step, through the basics of knitting, with knit and purl, casting on and binding (casting) off, and reading patterns. Creative Options expands upon the basics with further techniques, while Exploring Choices will provide even the experienced knitter with new ideas for interesting projects. The Stitch Library will become an indispensable reference to be constantly referred to. Finally, a wide selection of Patterns and Projects, linked back to the techniques throughout the book, provide plenty of opportunities to explore your developing skills and experiment with a variety of motifs to liven up any knitting.General Books
