Editorial Reviews

"Knitters looking for gift ideas for the whole family will find plenty to enjoy in this novice-friendly collection." – Library Journal

From the Publisher

11/15/2014
"Winter knitting" brings to mind richly textured knits, Fair Isle ski sweaters, and cozy blankets—all of which appear in abundance in this collection of simple, quick-to-knit projects. Designs for babies, children, men, women, and home decor are included, and the patterns include basic children's beanies knit in the round, simple stranded sweaters for children, and a reverse-cabled men's sweater that uses the wrong side of a cabled fabric to create a honeycomb pattern. Numerous techniques, including stranded colorwork, intarsia, cables, and knitting in the round are explored, and the last half of the book (following the patterns) provides extensive coverage of a variety of knitting skills, from basics such as yarn and needle choices to specialized knitting techniques and tips for finishing. VERDICT Knitters looking for gift ideas for the whole family will find plenty to enjoy in this novice-friendly collection.
