Summary of this Book... | ||
This book is available in hardbound and Kindle book. This book explores "knitting in the round" that is with either circular needles or 4-5 double pointed needles (DPNs.) Radcliffe teaches a wide variety of cast-ons and binding off, that are excellent for a variety of projects. This isn't a pattern book, this is a book that gives you a menu of techniques for knitting in the round. | ||
This type of Book is good for... | ||
Anyone that knits socks, hats and even sweaters (top down) as well as a more radical approach to mittens. Basically anything one knits flat! | ||
I especially liked... | ||
Margret Radcliffe is an excellent teacher and writer. I have seen her at Rhinebeck Sheep and Wool Fest, which is the spiritual home to knitters across the USA. Its almost impossible to get into her workshops, as they sell out the moment the classes get posted. The best thing about this book is you can have her on your bookshelf, ready to address any problem or issue, from casting on to binding off. | ||
I didn't like... | ||
I am never really a fan of the crappy way Amazon's kindle handles formatting with images and color. But that isn't the fault of the author. | ||
When I finished n/a this Book I wanted to... | ||
knit a zillion socks and even try a Norwegian Sweater in the round, but I confess I am afraid of STEEKS! | ||
This Book made me feel... | ||
That even picot edging would be easy! | ||
The n/a of this Book... | ||
This is rated really for anyone. | ||
I recommend this Book because... | ||
It's an excellent reference for knitters, especially those wanting to try a variety of techniques for knitting in the round but feel slightly intimidated by it. This method is excellent if you have carpal tunnel or any issues with fingers, hands and wrists. | ||
I don't recommend this Book because... | ||
