More knitters than ever before are using circular needles and enjoying the convenience, ease, and efficiency of knitting in the round. Circular Knitting Workshop teaches every aspect of circular knitting, and it empowers knitters of all levels to discover the satisfaction of knitting in the round. Circular knitting has many benefits, including making it easier to follow charts (with the rightside of the work always facing the knitter) and eliminating the need for seams. With just one circular needle needed, circular projects are perfect for sticking in a bag and taking along on the go. Margaret Radcliffe, author of The Knitting Answer Book (165,000 copies in print), is a master teacher recognized for her ability to demystify complex techniques. She presents Fair Isle, twined, helix, tubular, double knitting, and other classic techniques in detailed step-by-step photographic sequences. Thirty-five demonstration projects encourage readers to try out each technique on a mini-version of a sock, hat, bag, mitten, sweater, or vest before applying it to a larger project. Radcliffe also shows readers how to convert patterns written for straight needles to circular. Whether they'¬"re looking for a quick answer to a specific problem or a complete course in knitting in the round, knitters of all levels and interests will find Circular Knitting Workshop to be a reliable, frequently used companion.
