Knitting with Wire by Nancie M. Wiseman is 90 pages long and includes all sorts of knitting projects, useful tips and basic information on the tools for working with wire, a glossary and a helpful page of abbreviations. If you love knitting and want to try something new, try this!

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.

Very little inspired me and what did needs much more complicated tools than just some knitting needles. :(
