5.0 out of 5 stars The best of its kind...., Sep 10 2006
By Wolf in Sheep's Clothing "Up Late Every NIght... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Interweave's Compendium of Finishing Techniques (Spiral-bound)
I'm dyslexic and left handed -- and after several decades of false starts learning to knit -- I finally got it. What I couldn't figure out from all the wonderful knitting books available now is how to get the beginnings and endings (and the errors in the middle) to work as well as the actual knits, purls, yarnovers, and slips....

I borrowed one book of finishing techniques, found another at a local bookstore, and found dozens of pages on the web that all attempted to explain how to accomplish these tasks which are evidently simple to most knitters.

This book, "Interweave's Compendiu7m of Finishing Techniuest..." and another Interweave book called "Knit Fix" are the only books I've found that manage to explain in such a way that I can translate their instructions into successful knitting. Both books are compact, spiral bound, and full of un-misunderstandable directions and clear, plentiful illustrations.

If I can understand the writing and illustrations in these books, imagine how useful they will be for the average kntter!

This book suffers greatly by not featuring the word "knitting" in its title -- in dozens of searches on Amazon, it never came up and was never associated with other books in this family -- oddly, it is associated with weaving books only. Don't let this mislead you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good all-around reference book, July 25 2004
By Golden State's "Eagerweaver" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Interweave's Compendium of Finishing Techniques (Spiral-bound)
I like the book very much, however, I feel the layout and the photography could have been tighter and more artful. There's a bit of a rushed-to-put-together feel about it, which is disappointing. Nevertheless, good value for a finishing reference book because it applies to all needlework disciplines.

2.0 out of 5 stars Tries to do too much, Aug 9 2009
By Alex's Mom - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Interweave's Compendium of Finishing Techniques (Spiral-bound)
Thankfully I checked this out from the library rather than purchasing it. I found that it offered a whole lot of different crafts, with really quite basic information for each one. My main hobby is knitting, and I learned nothing here that I did not already know from my simplest books. It essentially gives one option for each task at hand in each craft.
