My favorite quote from this book: “Generally speaking, the better your tools, the more you’ll enjoy working with wire.” So true!
Inside you’ll find:
30+ original projects 3 main sections: Hand Knitting, Viking Knitting & Machine Knitting 4 pages of tool suggestions for working with wire Glossary shows: Basic crochet stitch, Kitchener stitch & Whipstitch
This book was a disappointment. Most of the patterns require a lot more than just basic knitting needles. The bet projects actually require maching knitting. There is a couple of simple things in the beginning that just use regular knitting. If I need a change from yarn knitting, check this book out again.
