Interesting Book
Like wat the editorial review says, the front portion of the book covers several techniques of knitting, the basics like increases, decreases, yarn overs, color knitting (fair isle, slip stitch), short row etc. There are samples given to illustrate the techniques and basic instructions as well.

This review is from: Hand Knitting: New Directions (Hardcover)
If you're looking for directions on how to knit, this isn't the book you want. If you're looking for fresh ideas and new design directions, to take your knitting to the next level, you will find a plethora of ideas to inspire you. Some of the "new directions" include knitting in circles out from the center, modular knitting techniques (more than just mitered squares), different takes on intarsia and fair isle, several ideas for stripes, etc, etc, etc. This is not a manual for the "by the book" knitter - but if you're ready to take your own knitting path, you might enjoy the view.

Interesting Book, Jun 9 2003
This review is from: Hand Knitting: New Directions (Hardcover)
Like wat the editorial review says, the front portion of the book covers several techniques of knitting, the basics like increases, decreases, yarn overs, color knitting (fair isle, slip stitch), short row etc. There are samples given to illustrate the techniques and basic instructions as well. There are several projects at the back that covers knitting garments in unusual and challenging ways like top down, side to side etc. It has pullovers, vests, bedjackets, pillows and hats. But just a few projects are given. Have not tried them yet, so not sure if there are any mistakes. The book is pretty expensive to buy and if you are a frequent buyer of knitting magazines, you would have read similar articles relating to knitting techniques before. If you are an experienced knitting, then don't think you will need the book, rather borrow a copy from friends or the library to try the projects.
