5.0 out of 5 stars The most used knitting book on my bookshelf, February 11, 2009

Although currently out of print, I highly recommend this book to anyone who knits. If you like to "tweak" patterns or create designs from scratch, you will find everything you need to know here.

Not only is the math included, but very clear, easy to understand graphics help the "math challenged" visualize the concepts.

The Knitters Guide exceeds the high standards of Interweave Press. I hope they choose to re-print this book ... no updates or changes are needed. There is a whole new generation of knitters who need this information.

I have only been knitting for a few years, but with this book, not only am I able to figure out how to alter patterns to fit myself, but I am able to design my own sweaters. I am so grateful to have been gifted this book. As a retired science teacher there is only one improvement I would make and that is that all calculations should include units. I write them in as I go. There is a terrific section in the back on techniques. I use it constantly. I can't believe it is out of print.
