Pocket Book Of Knitting, authored by Claire Gelder and published by Search Press
Pocket-worthy in size, this book may look too small to have anything worth reading. The well peppered and salted knitter may sniff and turn away - what good could a few pages do for anyone? They may self reflect with a purled brow. Yet is it true? Let me tell you the answer….
So, I will admit now, I am a knitter lover, not always knitter-doer. I have the desire, I have the inner will, I just don’t always have the skills to back it up.
From best-selling author and crafting queen Claire Gelder, this gorgeous mini guide is packed full of knitting know-how, practical illustrations and comes with four simple projects…..so yes it will appeal to those like myself who are not able to fulfil their inner aspirations on the knitting front just yet! The author Claire, who has previously published similar genre of this kind leads us through a wealth of basic teaching, along with bolstering throughout - with positive affirmations to keep us going. This is the book needed for the now - with so many turning to Meditation and Yoga in life simply to self-support themselves - we now get it with a creative activity combined. This makes the book appealing to a younger market as well as a maturer one.
Start with the basics with her explanations, given with clarity. So many have turned to the internet to pore over tutorials and got rather stuck (personally I am not good at looking at a screen and seeing what should be right and left or the other way around!) so this book is ideal.
So shape, purl and garter your way to confidence because you can!
As to its size, is small a negative? No, as really its approachable without being flimsy, I just love its hard cover with its plain-ish grey cover. It is aesthetically pleasing to the eye.
So, if you need Knitting in your life, purchase your copy today!
