Do you wish your knitting was better and that you had an expert knitter by your side to help you when it goes wrong? Then this is the book for you â it even has a special lay-flat binding so you can keep your hands on your needles.
Patty Lyons is an expert in all things knitting related â she will help you sort out your gauge, unpick problems like twisted stitches and generally spruce up your knitting know-how in this pocket-sized reference book packed full of her purlsâ of wisdom. Patty is a well-known knitting âagony auntâ and she will hold your hand as you tackle the problems that often beset knitters and get in the way of beautiful finished projects.
This handy guide will always be by your side to help you unravel your yarn problems and get you back on track. Packed full of practical advice for knitters as well as step-by-step instructions for a whole raft of knitting issues, this is the ultimate guide for anyone whoâs ever picked up yarn and a set of needles.
This isnât like other how to knitâ books with basic information about casting on and how to form stitches (although there is a handy how-to reference section at the back for when you need a refresher), this is a book about the whyâ of knitting.
Not about why we knitâ but about why we knit the way we doâ. By digging deeper into the whyâ Patty doesnât just fix your knitting problems she helps you to truly understand why the yarn/stitches/needles/tension are acting in a certain way and how to fix any issues.
She starts by looking at the basics and exploring a stitchâs anatomy, examining how this affects the look, feel and shape of the finished knitted fabrics and how different knitting techniques affect the finished outcome.
Patty examines the problems caused by common mistakes that many knitters make without even noticing before diving into more complex knitting issues and how to troubleshoot them. All of Pattyâs techniques and tips are illustrated with detailed step-by-step artwork for absolute clarity.
And, as youâd expect from a Patty Lyons book, there is a healthy scattering of humour and irreverence throughout; you might take knitting seriously but you donât have to be serious while knitting!
