Reviews for The Knitter's Dictionary: Knitting Know-How from A to Z

This slim, elegant reference work from Atherley (Knit Mitts), lead technical editor for Knitty magazine, is a combination dictionary of knitting terms and introduction to knitting tools and techniques.... Unlike many knitting books, the diagrams and drawings included here are clearly drawn and easy to decipher...a go-to reference in any knitting library. --Publishers Weekly, Starred Review The Knitter's Dictionary is my current ideal choice to keep at my side (err.. in my knitting bag) for all those unsure moments when it comes to this craft. --Connected2Christ
