Begin Your Journey With The Knitting Experience: Book 2: The Purl Stitch Narrated By Sally Melville Accessible As Digital Format

in the collection by Sally Melvijlle, I love the clear instructional photographs for technique, I don't so much love the designs, but there's still much to be learned from the book even if you don't knit any of the patterns.
Same as for the Knit Stitch, Excellent photos, great reference guide, Really great learning to knit book, Not a bad book. But I like the Knit Stitch patterns more, Good photos and nice instruction, As with her other books, I don't care for her asymetrical designs, These books are great! I've been knitting forever, and even for me, there were still projects to do! This book featured a hoodie that can be completed for anyone, child to adult.
stars,for the author being so wonderful, I'm past this book in terms of my knitting development, but wanted to read it for thoroughness.
If you're using her program to build up your skills, you're in good hands, but it's not quite the most exciting read for someone who already knows what they're doing.
Superb handbook for EVERY knitter get one of these and keep it in your own knitting library ASAP!!

Part of a threebook series, this second volume exemplifies what I believes ought to be in a knittting book: clearly presented instructions, methodically presented, with good patterns that have many, many possible options, and thoughtful forsight as to possible problems.
Although posited as a handbook for beginning knitters, there's enough good information here to warrant it's usefulness for all thouse who knit.
And most of the patterns are rather nice, albeit very basic, at least in their shapes.


From the back cover:
goforit projects

constant coaching"

This large paperback is beautifully arranged in several sections, with each having selfcontained basic info, a skill or techniques to learn or practice, and several rather nice patterns illustrating each technique.
All the patterns are offered in eNORmous size ranges, with excellent needle/yarn information at the very beginning.
In short, pretty much everything I love in a knitting book, except for not being spiralbound.
Well, you can't have everything, I guess, . . grin

But both the books in this series that I've seenKnit,Purl are superb, and wellworth the investment.
Now I'm off to convince my library that they really, truly do need to orderColor!!! Seems like a really good book, good teaching sections.
But I'm not feeling super drawn to many of the patterns, another dood book for beginners Another solid reference book for the knitter, Again, not the most inspiring patterns, but this is made up for with gorgeous photos, well written bits, and indisposable diagrams and instructions on a variety of stitches.
Including a section on fixing mistakes which I think I will copy and carry with my knitting projects forever.
. : Author Sally Melville manages to convey her enthusiasm for knitting throughout this book,

I took the book out of the library because of the great classic patterns contained in it, even though I was somewhat skeptical about an entire book dedicated to the purl stitch.


This is the second book in a series of five, It

is so interesting and wellwritten including some history of knitting that I'm going to have to find the other four books and read them as well.
Another great book not as great as the first, but still a terrific new knitter guide.
Couldn't really get into this one, Teaches the techniques of knitting, including materials, equipment, stitches, increasing and decreasing, and preventing and fixing mistakes, and includes patterns for dozens of projects.
Along with "The Knit Stitch" one of the better howto books, Good for beginner'slike me or even more advanced knitters Ok, goes over some material in first book which was better This is the space where you are to hear about me, Sally Melvilleknitting designer / teacher / author.
These spaces are usually written by people other than the person who is written aboutfor objectivity and all that good stuff.
But I suspect what youd then get is my story as told from the end and with all its high points.
And I dont think thats either inspiring or particularly truthful, Because while the high points may define us to the eyes of the world and in our obituaries, isnt it really the early stuff with its low points that make us who we are So here are the truly important events that made me a knitting designer / teacher / author.
Ill write about these in detail in my first five blog entries, but here are the bare This is the space where you are to hear about me, Sally Melvilleknitting designer / teacher / author.

As a young girl, I couldnt get gauge so had to write my own patterns, As a young woman, I made a truly weird sweater that, when fixed, was oddly appealing.
enough that I could begin selling my work, The subsequent purchase of a knitting machine taught me how much I truly did not know.
I enrolled in a one day, knitting design class, where everyone wanted to know about the sweater I was wearing referred to in pointand where I was thrown out for passing notes the pattern for the sweater referred to in point.
Back to my knitting machine where my math and writing both studied in university got to work and taught me what that class should have.
Soon enough I started my own knitting design class, from which no student would ever be thrown out! This became an ongoing group and then the K W Knitters Guild.
I developed classesto stay one step ahead of the guild members, One of our guest teachers pushed me into the light of the public of knitting world.
Inmy husband died, and all knitting came to a halt, I took a job as Study Skills Advisor at my local university, But my daughter asked me to knit a sweater for her boyfriend, So I didout of leftovers, And it became the centre piece of my first book: see Styles in books, Styles was wonderfully successful. But what would I do nextI had a desire to teach the world to knit, The result is The Knit Stitch, which sold really really well and probably led you to this website.
