Synopsis

Over 650 practical two-colour drawings illustrate the clear step-by-step instructions, which cover everything from casting on right through to adding the finishing touches, while many specially commissioned detailed and informative colour photographs have been added to this edition. There is a section devoted to beginners; a guide to choosing the best technique for a particular purpose; and practical advice on what to do when things go wrong. The book is thoroughly cross-referenced, helping to make it the most comprehensive volume on knitting techniques ever published. It's already a proven success and is now available for a new generation of handknitters.
