The Sweater Workshop
Knitting is a hands-on activity; it's one thing to read about  knitting a sweater and another thing to knit one completely from  sometimes cryptic patterns. First published in 1983, this book  was written for knitters who have no desire to follow a pattern  blindly but instead want to master the techniques necessary for  sweater knitting, whether or not a pattern is available for the  yarns they wish to use. Fee works the prospective knitter  through a sweater sampler that includes every technique needed  to master knitting seamless sweaters in the round, using any  yarn and based on the measurements of the wearer. The finished  sampler is a conversation piece that looks for all the world  like a form-fitting pullover. This second edition features a  more readable format, updated designs, and more sweaters, as  well as a spiral sock pattern intended as a practice project for  knitters not accustomed to knitting in the round on double-point  needles. Recommended for all but the smallest knitting  collections.Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc.
