A great resource for knitters

I'd had this book checked out from the library and renewed several times because I was using it. Now, I have my own copy and I am using it,too. This is the definition of a worthwhile book. The size is convenient. Contentwise, there are pictures of each pattern and the directions are clear. Knowing the number of stitches over which the pattern is knit, you can originate your own project, maybe just a flat square, or a scarf, or a sweater or use them for whatever project you might want to do. Each explanation is clear and concise. Excellent glossary of terms in English, equivalent glossary of terms in other languages for anyone who has ever knitted in a different language.

Vogue Dictionary of Knitting Stitches

The book is a classic and therefore hard to find. A must for knitters who want to expand their skills and create their own patterns. This is probably not a good book for beginners, but certainly recommended for those knitters who are comfortable with, but feel constrained by, commercially available patterns.

Very interesting, different stitches

I have looked through many stitch dictionaries and this one is my favorite so far. It is a nice size, relatively portable, but has a good selection of stitches to choose from. It also includes something I haven't seen in other stitch dictionaries -- a collection of Fair Isle patterns. A great resource for anyone's knitting library.
