    I think this would be a great book to not only learn new stitches in knitting but also for total newbies. Pictures and tutorials…..perfect!

    This looks like a great book. I already have a 1960’s Vogue Dictionary and this would make an additional resource for possibly more modern stiches !!!

    I really like that you included some pictures of some of the stitches in this book. It helps a lot to know that the book gives clear instructions for the patterns included.
