My Second Right Hand

This book is the best visual text and information that I have ever seen. It is like having an extra hand to help. I am a left handed person who learned to knit right handed about 20 years ago. When I am "rusty" I pull out the book and review. Now my daughter in law wants to knit and I have started her on a project. She belongs to a group who does the English method vs. the Continental Method.(my way). I am going to order her this book so it can guide her visually. I have told her that even though we do different methods the rules are all the same. I only wish I had learned to knit when I had little ones. Now I am knitting for the next generation with this book not far from my grasp. Mary

For every knitter's library

I was happy to add this to my library of knitting reference books. It is in depth and easy to understand, also there are some good basic patterns that can be adapted to my own projects.

Finished! My knitting progresses.

Excellent photos. Straight forward instructions. This book is exactly what I needed. It's been the next best thing to having someone's shoulder to look over and watch as they finished a sweater.I also loved the extras. Embroidery, knitted leaves and flowers, making your own buttons, zippers, pockets, shaping techniques -- and I finlly understand short rows!This is a nice companion book to my Vogue Reference because it's so focused and expands on exactly the techniques I need as an intermediate knitter as I try to broaden and refine my techniques.I have looked at the other finishing books. This is the first one I HAD to have. I would have been happy to buy this book had there been no patterns, but they are a very nice bonus, particularly the women's fully fashioned sweaters. Simple and sophisticated with great details. The cardigan I just finished looks MUCH better than my last sweater as I used the things in this book to finish it.
