Description
 
Be fearless and knit with confidence!

A workbook for the hands and minds of knitters, the Fearless Knitting Workbook will:

   * Develop your skills and deepen your understanding of how yarn becomes fabric
   * Lead you over common obstacles that makes knitting seem difficult through gentle, targeted exercises and extensive explanations broken down into layman's terms
   * Give you the confidence to fearlessly approach any knitting pattern you might otherwise think was beyond your abilities and gain a sense of mastery to knit any commercial pattern you wish
   * And more!

Fearless Knitting Workbook offers classically designed swatch exercises in specific technical areas, such as knit and purl patterns, cables, shaping, and lace. By introducing the basic stitch movements, vocabulary, charts, and knitting math for each exercise, you are more likely to be successful. Plus, the exercise swatches you will create with this workbook can be used as washcloths or combined to create pillow covers, throws, or scarves.

Throughout Fearless Knitting Workbook, the key emphasis is on teaching you how to read your knitting as well as the written instructions, and on explaining why things are done the way they are done in successful knitting. At the same time, the book encourages you to try your hand at any pattern your hands desire, regardless of your skill level.
