 Initially I was skeptical BUT... May 28, 2003
19 out of 22 found this review helpful
Initially I was skeptical of this work, afterall, Vogue's reference
works are the de facto standard in the knitting community, but I
was pleasantly pleased when I received it. This compilation of
techniques is simply spectacular with it attention to details. Each
technique (several variations of cast on and bind off, increases and
decreases, button holes, seams and even picking up stitches) is
clearly explained including a list of benefits of this technique and
drawbacks. Multicolored illustrations demonstrate the methods
shown to make the products which are clearly photographed from
each section. All in a spiral bound format that fits easily in your
knitting bag!
 Wrong Cover, Blah Book May 10, 2003

WARNING The cover art is wrong. This is not the book that you will receive if you order this. This is the same as the other Nancie Wiseman Knitter's Book of Finishing Techniques with multiple sweaters on the cover. WARNING
Note that this is very basic book with little challenge or inovation on finishing techniques, the promise of how to do rolled riges on the cover is not included. If you've been knitting for a while you probably know what's included in the pages.
What a disappointment!... April 12, 2003
25 out of 34 found this review helpful
I am an experienced knitter but always need help with the little, but very importent, finnishing details. However, when I bought this book it was a big disappointment. The amount of information was minimal and you were always referred back to previous pages so that working with the book was not as simple as the spiral bound format would lead you to believe. There are better books around to treat this subject
A much appreciated present April 1, 2003

Though I don't knit myself, on the advice of others, I have given this little book to two knitters, both "advanced beginners." They love it and can't stop raving about it. So I guess it's the perfect gift for a knitter.
 From "knitting" to "finished garment." March 26, 2003

If you have a closet full of bags with knitted pieces and you are stumped as to the steps to get to a SWEATER, this book can help.I have a simple pamphlet about knitting finishing which has been my standby for years. But this book is much nicer, as it has a lot of color illustrations that really show how the finish should look. The photography and choice of yarn colors lets you see clearly how to pick up stitches for a band, how the sewing should look, how to insert a zipper. The spiral binding is hand for laying down flat as you work a finish as a swatch or for real on your sweater. The book is small enough to fit in a normal tote bag, but not so small as to be hard to read. If someone is a knitter in your family, this would make a good gift--even though I've been knitting for years, this is a very handy thing to pop into the knitting bag and carry along. I really like it.
