5.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent resource for some basic and advanced knitting.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hand-Knitting Techniques From Threads Magazine (Paperback)
I first checked this book out of the library. I was so interested in the variety of information that I decided to order it. Many knitting topics are covered, such as bead knitting, yarnover uses, large sizes, and knitting to fit. As a beggining knitter with few resources, I find this book to be invaluable. There are many photos and easy to read graphics showing how to do what is discussed. Projects are a bit outdated now, but the information is 5 star.

A wonderful treasure trove of knitting knowlege!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hand-Knitting Techniques From Threads Magazine (Paperback)
This book is the first in a series of reprints from Threads magazine of their knitting articles, and to my mind the best and most useful for one's knitting library. If you are beginning to explore the world of seamless sweaters, this is an especially good book, as they have articles on bottom up seamless (by Elizabeth Zimmerman, no less) and top down raglans, as well as an article on converting flat patterns to circular knitting. Even if one is not particularly interested in the subject of an article, I find that the excellent text, color photograhs and diagrams serve to draw me into it. For example an article on gloves by Deborah Newton is so attractively and accessibly done, that I'm tempted to try it someday! Also "The Oddball Sweater" a seamless sweater worked from the top down with yarn leftovers is another project I'd like to try. There are also articles on finishing, ribbing and fitting, of interest to all knitters, and a subject index to help one access all this useful information!

I would recommend this book to anyone who knows how to knit. It includes techniques for every part part of handknitting, from cast ons to bind offs and everything in between, as well as tricks for a sweaters and mittens. Definite keeper, my copy is frayed and well loved.
