In the Author's Words....
"This book shows you how to knit from the very beginning, step-by-step, progressing from the elementary stitches through to a variety of interesting techniques. Begin by learning how to cast on, knit, purl, and bind off. When you have mastered these basics, learn to work textured stitch patterns, Fair Isle and picture knitting, and how to shape and finish a garment. Each topic is fully explained and illustrated, showing clearly how to work the basic stitch formations and other techniques. Knitting has a long and varied history, and different techniques have developed at various times in different parts of the world, so sometimes there are several ways of working to achieve the same result. In these cases, this book describes the simplest method, or a method in common use today. You may discover other ways of working for yourself, or learn from other knitters."
