New fun Knit book

 

This is a really fun book that runs the "gammet" of yarn types

 and how various yarn fibers will act in your knitting projects.

 

I love this saying...but, I would tweek it just a bit.

"So many fibers...so little time".  The book does describe

the properties of several other fibers, including pictures

 and info about the sources of the fibers...i.e animal or plant.

 

There's sections in the book where you get to "meet" several "whose-whos"

of the yarn and knit world.  You read about what things inspire them and

what are their favorite things to create.

 

One of the chapters...reads "Know-How".  And, some advice given here

is "Try to learn a new trick every month.". 

 

The Chapters are spelled out with yarn...kind a cool!

 

This picture is a bit blurry...but, I wanted to show how some of the

pages are set up.  They use lots of close-up photos with tags and

very good descriptions/instructions.

 

The is mainly about different types of yarns and how they work

within the realm of knitting.  But, there is a couple of fun

chapters about spinning, weaving and dying. 

 

I think this is a great book...great visuals, great information,

well written instructions.  You can read bits and pieces randomly as

they interest you...or, you can read through chunks from beginning

to end.  I also think this is a good book for beginners as well as

those who are accomplished knitters.  =)

 

What are some of your favorite knitting books?
