Knitting is presently enjoying a renaissance. Around the world, people young and old are discovering-or rediscovering-the joy of working with needles and yarn. Basic Knitting serves as a comprehensive introduction to the fundamental skills you will need master in order to become a knitter. The focus of the first half to the book is on detailed, step-by-step text and photo sequences that will teach you how to execute the basic stitches and techniques of knitting. The second half of the book teaches you how to apply these basic skills when completing actual projects. Anita J. Tosten and Missy Burns, Knitters and consultants; photographs by Alan Wycheck. (less)
