by Meg Swansen & Amy Detjen

In 65 pages Meg Swansen and Amy Detjen have managed to cover just about everything you need to know to knit a stranded garment successfully. They cover topics from casting on and reading charts, to decreasing/increasing in pattern, to centering patterns, to shaping necklines, to Armenian knitting, to jogless jog, to steeking, to spacing buttonholes. It just doesn’t stop!

For years my go-to books on techniques have been Sweaters from Camp and Meg Swansen’s Knitting, both long out of print. This book covers everything in these two plus lots more.

I think this book is a must-have for every knitter’s library: there’s something here for the beginner and for the expert.
