Weekend Knitting by Kate Buchanan
Start off with the basics such as casting on and simple knit and purl stitch. As the knitter grows more comfortable, intermediate techniques such as increasing and decreasing are sure to inspire new ideas for clothing. Cables and lace? A simple introduction will have you creating sumptuous cardigans and throws. The book features more than twenty projects by four different contemporary designers with designs advancing in skill level as the knitter becomes more familiar with the techniques. Each project is accompanied by easy-to-follow instructions and a full-colour photograph to make the stitch process a breeze. From the first loop to the last seam, this invaluable resource provides answers to the questions that often stump new knitters and offers a rewarding and stress-free knitting experience to keep first-timers inspired.
