The book is 144 pages and comes in softbound and ebook versions. It includes chapters on identifying and exploiting the characteristics of different types of knitted fabrics, choosing and purchasing knits for the correct project and progresses through finishing techniques etc.
The second chapter is the best single tutorial I've seen (in 45+ years of sewing) on taking accurate measurements, tissue fitting and adjusting patterns for custom fit. Really exemplary and accessibly written. The author is clearly a gifted teacher.
She has an informal and reassuring writing style. Though the tutorials aren't really aimed at the complete beginner, this book will serve as a valuable resource and reference to use and come back to as one progresses. The step-by-step photos are a plus and are accompanied by descriptive text to make the process as clear as possible.
I couldn't find any errors with the progression or the content.
Five stars. Really well written. Don't be afraid of knits!
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher.
