I buy quite a lot of books on the web, mostly from Amazon. There are so many books about knitting and design that I just want. I found this little book of Erika Knight, a well-known British knitting designer, on Amazon.
The book contains quotes and texts of authors and designers but also practical advice about knitting. For most knitters this advice is maybe obvious, but a little reminder can only do good!
Always knit in adequate light. It is much easier to work in either bright daylight or good task lighting.
Cast on your stitches with a size larger needle than the pattern states to ensure that the first row is not too tight.
The book is a little gem to have on hand both when the knitting flows or if it's sometimes goes a little less good.
The words are inspiring and keeps you in good spirits!
'It takes balls to knit.'
