The basics and beyond!

Want to start knitting? Do you know the basics but want to learn new skills like shaping, lace, and colorwork?  Well, A Beginner's Guide to Knitting is for you! Starting at the beginning with casting on, garter stitch, and binding off, 20 workshops take you through different stitches and techniques, all illustrated to show you how everything is done. At the end of each workshop there’s a project to try out your skills on. Along the way, you’ll also learn how to read patterns, join pieces, and knit in the round. Projects include a table runner made up of squares, a child’s sweater with an intarsia design, a cabled messenger purse, and a textured throw with bobbles and fringing. There’s a handy stitch reference guide.
