Editorial Reviews

Compulsive Reader
One of the nicest features of this book is that it shows you in pictures what the mistakes look like!
Decorating Digest Craft & Home Projects
Novices and experienced knitters alike will find guidance, instruction, innovations and solutions for all their knitting challenges.
KnitSimple
Newbie-friendly? If this isn't, what is? Plenty of swatch photos and illustrations show the before and after of accidental stitching.
Knitting News
This is a book that every knitter should carry in their knitting bag.
KnittingNewsCast.com
A helpful resource for lots of knitting problems. . . written in a humorous yet caring way.
Knitty.com
For me, a knitter that is in denial until the very end, the best chapter is 'Extreme Fixes: Altering When You're Done Knitting.'
Spindlicity.com
Knitters, rejoice. Lisa Kartus knows all our boo-boos before we make them, and is here to liberate us.
Library Journal
Knitting teacher Kartus believes that there isn't any knitting faux pas that can't be fixed, and in this illustrated problem-solving manual, she proves her point. She shows readers how to deal with twisted or skipped stitches, incorrectly crossed cables, too many or too few stitches at the end of a row, and more. For intermediate and advanced knitters, there are chapters on solving problems before they grow worse and on altering finished knitwear. Knitters at all levels of proficiency will learn from this clear and well-organized guide, whose index makes finding specific information a breeze. Enthusiastically recommended for public libraries.
