Spend more time knitting and less in prep and technical research

•  large, easy-to-use charts - no need to photocopy and enlarge to read
•  photos and explanations of more complex stitches or finishing techniques books

Details, details, details = successful knitting

•  detailed colour photographs clearly show the knitting
•  well-written instructions are easy to follow (note most patterns are charted)
•  sizing instructions and many charts are colour-coded to make it easy
   to find your size and keep your place

Hard copy patterns are:

•  printed on heavy paper so pattern stands up to use
•  all enclosed in a clear, protective cover

Pdf patterns are:

•  formatted for 8.5 x 11 inch paper, but still include all colour details and full-size charts
