I received this book last week as a birthday gift and was thrilled to see how good it is. I have been knitting for 40 years and still there were many things I learned just in my initial perusal of the book. This book is filled with excellent information from a wide varitey of sources and is written in easy to understand language. I'd recommend this book to any knitter who just wants to learn something new. Definite 5 stars in my opinion.

Tips and Tricks to Supercharge Your Knitting,
By Charlene Anderson "Purveyor of All Things Cre... (Jackson, WY United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Knitting Tips & Trade Secrets: Ingenious Techniques and Solutions for Hand and Machine Knitting and Crochet (Paperback)
I have been a subscriber of Threads magazine beginning with Issue #1 and treasure my early issues that covered knitting, spinning, weaving and other textile arts.
Knitting Tips and Trade Secrets, Expanded: Ingenious Techniques and Solutions for Hand and Machine Knitting and Crochet is a compilation of the best tips and tricks from those issues of Threads magazine. The Expanded Edition, which contains more tips that the original edition (which is well thumbed through and resides in an easy to reach place on my bookshelf). Containing more than 170 step-by-step drawings, if you knit or crochet and want to learn the "little things" that separate good work from great work, this is the book for you. The chapters in this well designed and produced book include: * Yarn * Hand-Knitting Techniques * Multicolor Knitting * Garmentmaking Tips * Managing Your Knitting * Machine Knitting * Crochet * Finishing and Caring for Your Project * Knitting abbreviations * Index
