Mindful crafting for beginners by Claire Gelder.
From best-selling author Claire Gelder, this lovely mini guide is packed full of knitting know-how, practical illustrations and comes with four simple projects.
Perfect for complete beginners, Claire clearly explains everything you need to know about knitting:
- how to read a ball band,
- how to get tension correct,
- how to choose needles and yarns,
- how to cast on and
- how to read abbreviations and knitting patterns.
It is structured as a simple three-step course that will help you progress from bronze to gold as your skills and confidence grow.
Start with the basic stitches and simple joining, build up a few more stitches for your collection, then finally add in some simple shaping and some pompoms.
Before you know it you'll be knitting a garter stitch scarf, herringbone stitch blanket, a loop stitch cushion and a pompom hat.
Filled with positive affirmations and beautifully illustrated, this wonderful book is a perfect introduction to knitting for a complete beginner.
