Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble

Circular knitting is a technique that is becoming increasingly popular because of its convenience and elimination the need for seams. In fact, knitting in the round makes it easier to read charts (the right side of work now always faces the knitter) and enables knitters to work more continuously. With easy-to-understand step-by-step photographs, Margaret Radcliffe's The Circular Knitting Workshop introduces crafters to Fair Isle, twined, helix, tubular, and other classic techniques that can be enacted in thirty-five projects, each of which begins with a mini-version demonstration. (P.S. Author Radcliffe qualifies as a master teacher. With 165,000 copies in print, her Knitting Answer Book is regarded as a genre classic.)

Circular knitting is useful for anything tubular (socks, hats, mittens), but how else can it be used? Veteran knitting instructor and designer Radcliffe (The Knitting Answer Book) explores the ins and outs of circular knitting, including cast-ons and bind-offs, techniques for circular knitting, and conversion of flat knits to circular knits. Ample color photographs that correspond to the directions and "workshop projects" designed to reinforce the information in the book are included. VERDICT All knitters, from novice to expert, will find something new and useful in this comprehensive guide. Essential for knitting collections.
