DESCRIPTION:
General Technical Knitting Reference With Exceptionally Clear How-to-Do-It Photos KNITTING KNOW-HOW is a basic how-to reference book for knitters--yet another entry in an already crowded field that includes the three classics, Knitter's Handbook : A Comprehensive Guide to the Principles and Techniques of Handknitting, Vogue Knitting: The Ultimate Knitting Book, and The Principles of Knitting. However, KNITTING KNOW-HOW distinguishes itself with exceptionally large and clear step-by-step photos of how to accomplish every standard knitting technique, and a great many not-so-standard knitting techniques.The illustrated techniques include, to name only a few. Knitting Know-How This is a book for beginners, experienced knitters, and all those in between. There is a wealth of information not found in other books, such as increasing from ribbing to accomodate multiple cables, the mathematical formula for adding cables to a pattern, the knot-to-loop crochet method of seaming a sweater,the attachment of a buttonband to a cardigan as the band is knit, and my favorite, how to pick up a dropped edge stitch, the bane of many knitters. All the techniques are clearly explained, accompanied by photographs and illustrated by projects.
