It's the essential guide for chicks with sticks--because knit happens.

From the tools of the trade to the knitty-gritty of techniques and patterns, all with easy-to-follow step-by-step illustrated techniques. Stockinette stitch, rib stitch, seed stitch.

After the how-tos come the why-to: forty hop, stylish patterns, as good for beginners as they are for purely pros.
