Books like Seven things that can "make or break" a sweater by Margaret E. Fisher


Good knitting technique never goes out of style. Whether you knit trendy garments or classic sweaters, the same techniques will make the difference between a garment that looks well made and one that doesn't. This book teaches seven basic knitting techniques that greatly affect the appearance of a hand knit sweater: the smooth or bumpy side of the cast‑on edge, the placement and type of increases used in ribbing, slanting decreases, invisible increases, blocking, picking up stitches for bands, and buttonholes. Mastering the "how" of each technique and understanding the "when, where and why" allows knitters to make confident choices and produce beautifully hand knit projects.
