The first in the phenomenal SnB series.
KNIT HAPPENS!
It's the essential guide for chicks with sticks - from the the tools of the trade to the knitty-gritty of techniques and patterns, all with easy-to-follow step-by-step illustrated techniques; stockinette stitch, rib stitch, seed stitch, increasing and decreasing, all the bells and whistles - fringes, tassels, cables, intarsia, crab stitch and Fair Isle.
Plus the stitch doctor's own special bag of tricks and how to hook up with other knitters.
After the how-to comes the why-to: forty hip, stylish patterns, as good for beginners as they are for purly pros.
