Handsomely produced knitting dictionary.
This is a handsomely produced knitting dictionary. The cover looks a bit greenish or blueish here, but it's actually black. The cover is a matte surface, so it will immediately show the greasy and shiny smears from your fingers and the palms of your hands.
The illustrations are black and white outline drawings, depicting some things that are pretty well known, like lace, and also various stitches. The stitches can be single illustrations, but some of them show the creation of the stitch in three or four steps. I'm not sure you would turn to this book as the place to teach you knitting, but it could certainly serve as a quick reminder or source of information for stitches.
The book gives you some details on how a hand-knit sock is constructed/designed. And it might help knitters get information on the tools they need for various projects.
