Handknitter's Handbook - Tapa dura

This guide offers a comprehensive manual of hand knitting techniques useful to every hand knitter, beginner and experienced alike. It gathers together just about everything there is to know about practical hand knitting. From casting on (in over 40 different ways) right through to adding the finishing touches, it's all there! Beginners need not feel overwhelmed, however - there is a special guide for them and plenty of encouragement to expand their skills - while experienced knitters will be surprised at just how much there is to learn. Over 650 two-colour drawings illustrate the clear, step-by-step instructions, while a wealth of superbly detailed and informative colour photographs show just what can be achieved. With guides to choosing the best technique for a purpose and advice on what to do when things go wrong, plus thorough cross-referencing throughout, this is a book to inform and inspire, and one to which every hand knitter will return again and again.
