This must be the ultimate guide to learning the basics of knitting. (...) Everything is illustrated with clear photos and step-by-step text. What sets the Beginner's Guide to Knitting apart from similar handbooks is that it offers many different options for casting on, binding off, assembling, etc. There are tips for picking up dropped stitches, unraveling, blocking a finished project, and reading a knitting pattern. -- BTJ, Swedish Publisher and Content Provider for LibrariesMore details
