Learning how to knit can be daunting – not everyone is blessed with a friend or family member who can show them the ropes. While learning the basics (and not-so-basics) can be slightly intimidating, it’s helpful to have a seasoned knitter by your side as you enter your knitting era.
Popular chunky knitwear designer Brenda Lam shows you everything you need to know:

• The fundamental tools, yarns, stitches and techniques required to get started
• Things I Wish I’d Known, where Brenda shares her favorite tips and tricks
• A Troubleshooting section, for when you''re not quite sure where a stitch has gone wrong (we’ve all been there!);
• Simple stitches, the basics on how to read a pattern, and a chapter on how to finish your work
• 10 colorful, chunky projects to test out your new skills, including some scrappy mittens or, if you’re feeling ambitious, a sweater vest.

With its witty and welcoming tone, this book is perfect if you''re looking to take your first step into the knit-o-sphere.
