Now updated and better than ever--the bestselling guide to knitting brilliant,
timeless pieces

Knitting For Dummies consistently ranks among our top-selling Dummies titles
since it published six years ago, with 300,000 copies sold. Knitting For
Dummies, Second Edition is for those new to the craft who are looking for
a great introductory guide, as well as those already familiar with knitting
who are looking for an easy-to-read, fun reference that introduces them to
new projects and techniques. This revised and expanded edition not only
provides the latest information and resources, but also step-by-step how-to
instructions for all the knitting techniques explained in the book. Using
easier-to-follow photos and illustrations, the guide demonstrates basic
knitting stitches and shows readers how to decipher patterns and work with
multiple colors. It also explains how to fix common knitting mistakes and
relax stiff shoulders and fingers. Most projects also offer a list of
variations, so knitters can expand their understanding and design projects
on their own. This new edition also features a new section covering knitting
online (blogs, e-zines, and Web sites), a new chapter on felting knitted
projects (which has become very popular among beginners), the latest new
yarns and styles, a new bibliography, and new sample projects and patterns,
including "your first sweater" (an easy top-down raglan that requires no
piecing), a bag knit in the round, and a tubular neckerchief kind of scarf.
