KNIT SPEAK
Andrea Berman Price
|
Knitting can be a challenging craft, but even more challenging than knitting itself is the cryptic language—
a mix of abbreviations, numbers, jargon, punctuation marks, and other symbols, in which patterns are
usually written. It's no wonder so many beginners (and even some whose skills are quite advanced)
are confused or intimidated. Knitspeak is a knitter's dictionary that disentangles the intricacies and mysteries
of pattern language, and translates it into plain English; helping knitters to easily transition from confused to confident.
The book's many easy to understand drawings clarify basic and not-so basic needle techniques. There is also a series of
sidebars dealing with issues ranging from keeping track of simultaneous shaping, to substituting yarns, and reading a yarn
label, and there is also an appendix, filled with valuable tips, charts, and worksheets.
