Book Reviews of Big Book of Knitting
Book Review: #1 Knitting Resource (after my mom)!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a knitter who learned from a pro--my German mother--who creates her knitted works without patterns. Since this is how I learned to knit, this is how I create my pieces. While this book has some patterns (not necessarily ones I would make), it is more of an inspirational book for designing and creating your own unique work. This book is essential for the knitter who is ready to venture beyond someone else's patterns and begin creating her (his) own patterns. It covers such important finishing details such as how to create "seamless" seams, various collars and sleeve patterns in addition to beginning details such as how to cast on using the "kitchener's rib" which creates a very VERY professional (and store-bought) effect. This book is my go-to resource when I find myself attempting to decipher a confusing pattern written by another author. Also, INVALUABLE to any knitter, is the chart on page 51 which tells the reader how many stitches to cast on based upon gauge--this allows the reader/designer to make pieces that fit perfectly! Happy Knitting!
