Knit Stitch Dictionary: 250 Essential Stitches - Softcover

"I really love this book! Here are a few reasons. The organization is fantastic, such an improvement over older stitch dictionaries. The Table of Contents, first of all, is divided into categories such as knit and purl stitch patterns, eyelets and lace, tucks and pleats, etc. Best of all, it is organized visually so you get a small thumbnail picture of each stitch right in the Table of Contents, so you can leaf through and quickly identify what you might be looking for. It's also fun to just open pages at random and browse, and find new and interesting stitches to try. It includes both written and charted instructions. It doesn't address knitting in the round however." --Knit and Travel and Such
