Knit Fix
By Lisa Kartus Interweave Press $19.95 Knitters, rejoice. We are saved. Lisa Kartus knows all our boo-boos before we make them, and is here to liberate us from running again and again to the local yarn store for help with our knitting mistakes. Yes, we all make them. Yes, most of them can be fixed; you've seen your LYS wizard perform miracles on your messes. Now you can do the same, with the help of this handy little volume. As I was reading this book, I thought Lisa must have been undercover in some of my knitting classes, because she offers, on page after page, precisely the sorts of pointers I give my knitting students, such as using markers to help keep track of how many stitches you're casting on, and using a smaller-sized needle to restored frogged stitches. In just 112 pages, including the contents and index, these solutions are concisely presented in a cheery format. Very new knitters might need somewhat more detailed explanations, but intermediate knitters should have no trouble grasping these expert tips. Knit on, brothers and sisters, we are empowered! |
