KNITTY GRITTY: Knitting for the Absolute Beginner

There's a new generation of knitters out there turning the traditional image of granny-knitters on its head. Knitting is the new yoga, but not everyone is lucky enough to have someone to show them the ropes and get them started on their very first row. Here is the answer, a tried and tested guide full of absolute beginner-proof instructions and patterns. In plain English it tells knitters how to read and follow patterns and feel confident about that next big step beyond knitting the proverbial long thin scarf. Photographs show actual knitting projects in action and full page close-up shots show some of the exciting projects like the little and large cushions decorated with big buttons or stuffed with dried lavender or old socks, a floaty feminine 25G extra fine mohair scarf, a double-knit mobile phone warmer, fingerless wrist warmers, a man's tie, a hot water bottle cover, a lacy and versatile wrap, a cable knit bag, a decorative flower, and the ubiquitous knitted and bobble hat and of course super scarves. Happy knitting! 126 pages in very large softback, colour photos and diagrams and charts, this is really clear and easy.
