A Book on Knitting

Hello! Today on Reading Wednesday I’ll be sharing a a book on knitting. Let’s get started!

And here we have The Knitting Book. Now, as the holidays approach, you may find yourself wanting to give handmade gifts to family and friends. And if you’re anything like me, those gifts might include yarn. 😉 This book gives a very helpful look into the different stitches and techniques that go into knitting. It also includes patterns, such as scarves, hats, socks, etc.

One of the reasons I like this book is that it means I don’t have to look up everything on the internet. If I have a question I can just look it up in this book instead. It gives explanations for a wide variety of stitches and different casting on and off techniques. Just flipping through the pages gets me inspired to start a new project!

This book is especially helpful since, in the past, I’ve been mostly a crocheter. Crocheting is just easier for me to get the hang of. But I also want to learn new skills, knitting being one of those. There’s a lot to be said for learning new things like this. Practical skills such as crocheting, knitting, and sewing, are obviously pretty useful. Not to mention the satisfaction that comes with making your own handmade items. 😉

The book also gives an in-depth look into understanding knitting patterns. I feel like I’ll probably be referring to this page a lot in the future. 🙂

Where to find The Knitting Book: I’ll leave a link to it here.

Well, that’s all for now! I hope you enjoyed this glimpse into a book on knitting. Do you like crocheting or knitting better? ~ Emily
