Every knitter's favorite reference guide got a facelift! Interweave Press' "The Knitter's Companion" not only features the most-used techniques from the original version, but new color drawings describe the details of each technique and photographs show the finished look. Innovative methods of casting on, binding off, and increasing stitches have been added as well. The expanded section on color-knitting techniques, details such as tassels, fringe, and knitting with beads help you achieve the best results possible in any project. The format of the book has been changed to a hardbound copy with concealed wire-o for easy access to information. The new edition is 136 pages.
