A very handy book to have available when you need a reminder about a knitting term. Although you can always "google" terms for answers, Kate Atherley's book has compiled everything you'll need to know in a concise and compact book. In addition to providing term definitions she has also included guidance for choosing yarn and understanding the yarn label. I found especially helpful the section on Increases - making new stitches. She offers both a explanation of the terms and techniques on how to execute. I'm forever forgetting which is left leaning vs right leaning. I now keep this compact book in my knitting bag to have with me wherever I am. Extremely helpful when you find yourself someplace without an internet connection!
