The Knitter's Handbook is a terrific resource for both new knitters and experienced knitters. You can learn the basics, refine your skills, learn something new, and use as a guide for choosing yarns, needles, and tools. The first section "the basics" has detailed instructions for getting started. Afterwards, move on to knitting a project with guidance on stitch technique, checking gauge, and finishing. The following chapters will have you knitting in the round, knitting colorwork, and using special stitches to create textured fabrics. There is also a section on embellishments and special techniques all knitters should know. A great addition to any knitter's library.
