Harmony Guide-great stitch dictionaries...

This is the second of the old harmony guides that I have purchased. I ***LOVE*** them. They are older, and the photos are not slick, or flashy, but the wealth of information in them just can't be beat, in my opinion.SO many stitches to pick from...decisions, decisions. The new harmony guides are prettier, and will look better on your shelf,or out on a table, but I really looked thru the new ones well before I bought the old ones. The old ones are a better value,with many more stitches shown than the new ones. I want a stitch dictionary I'm actually going to use more over one that looks good on my shelf. I will probably eventually get both sets of these guides, just because I really do like both of them, but right now I'm more about function and value over looking good enough for a coffee table book.

Essential for knitting creativity

The Harmony Guide allows a knitter with intermediate skills to take a basic sweater pattern and, using combinations of stitches, turn it into a one-of-a-kind designer original! The book is sturdy, which is a good thing, because you will use it again and again. There is a clear color photo of a knitted sample for each stitch, along with row by row instructions. There's a how-to section and explanations of all knitting abbreviations used.

Reference book for stitches

I have all the Harmony guides and use them often, especially if I am stuck on a pattern or want to create/design a pattern of my own. For me they are an invaluable resource and everyone of them is a must have for any serious knitter.
