Add a CommentKnit patterns for the young and the restless: halters, hoodies, skulls, devil hats. Then suddenly, some pretty, pretty sweaters. There is a surprisingly long, detailed, and well-illustrated instructional section. How punk rock.
Before I got this book I was a terrible knitter, and I found it very helpful in improving my stitching and getting on the road to completing a project.
This is the book to scare your knitting into shape! Beginner knitters will get good tips on being excellent right from the start. Experienced knitters can fine-tune their work and have fewer UGH projects. I also love the durable cover, it'll take some abuse.
one of the most informative and well presented knit books ever.
don't let the title and look scare you.
nifty patterns may be a bit above a beginner, but great inspiration and thorough instructions to take you to the next level
