5.0 out of 5 stars all the knitting & finishing techniques you'll ever need, Oct 1 2004
By A. Lai - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Encyclopedia of Knitting Techniques (Paperback)
This is a great classic reference book for knitters. It has over 300 explanatory drawings and 22 color photographs. It offers special hints and tips on professional methods. In addition, it gives suggestions for how to get the best out of a commercial pattern, as well as how to draft a pattern for your own design.

I especially liked the use of both English and American knitting terms, as well as a lot of the historical information about knitting. The book also provides interesting and useful information about the different types of fibers (angora, mohair, etc.)used to make the more exotic yarns.

4.0 out of 5 stars Old fashioned but thorough, May 28 2010

This review is from: The Encyclopedia of Knitting Techniques (Paperback)
I first came across this book back in 1996 in my library, and having been using pages from it ever since, so I finally figured I should buy the whole book :-) I have found it very useful over the years.

This book is laid out in alphabetical order, as the title 'encyclopaedia' suggests. This makes it fabulous for looking up techniques quickly. It is a techniques and information book, not a how-to book, as it is not listed in order of categories of techniques or order of difficulty.

The look is old-fashioned, and there are not many pictures, but this makes it able to have more information for the same size of book. It is great for checking which paired decrease you need, how to do short rows, altering existing garments and more.

I would highly recommend this book as a reference book for your shelf, perhaps paired with a book with more photos (I have bought it paired with Finishing Techniques for Hand Knitters, which I have also reviewed).
