The knitwear revolution of the 1980s meant that greater and more exciting varieties of yarns, colours and designs are available than ever before. The volumes of designer patterns on offer, which promise creations of dazzling originality and sophistication, all assume that the knitter is already well-versed in the intricacies of methodology. But this is often not the case, and the techniques necessary to produce professional-looking garments remain a mystery.
The Encyclopedia of Knitting Techniques is the answer to today's growing number of knitters, faced with more patterns and more styles. It explains in a clear and concise manner, with the aid of specially commissioned photographs and illustrations, all the knitting and finishing techniques they are ever likely to need. Throughout, appropriate methods for specific types of work are recommended, and professional hints and tips given. Organized in A-Z form for easy reference, from Abbreviations to Yokes via Bobbles, Entrelacs and Picot, with a total of 150 entries, this illustrated encyclopedia is the essential companion for every knitter, whatever the level of his or her competence.
