I was trying to find another book which has a lot of patterns in MPH, The Curve. After failing to find it, I headed to Borders to continue my search where I found this.

“200 Knitting Tips, Techniques & Trade Secrets” is written by Betty Barnden.

This book contains over 200 professional fixes, insider tips, and secrets arranged by topic to enable any crafter to achieve a great fit and finish when knitting garments and accessories. You will also learn how to dye yarns easily in an ordinary kitchen..

It covers not only the basic and advanced techniques, but also from choosing yarn to designing, dyeing and also aftercare. You can look for help on almost any of the troubles faced when you are knitting. In my opinion, it is much more useful than the information found on the internet.

The book contains 160 full color pages. All the basic, advanced and creative techniques are illustrated step by step for ease of understanding. Common abbreviations of knitting are located on the last page of the book. You will need this when reading knitting patterns as they use abbreviations.

If you’re already a professional knitter and are looking for knitting projects / patterns, this is not the book you’re looking for. But for beginners and intermediate knitters, this book is very useful and a good way to start exploring the beautiful world of knitting.
