Two Needles, Many Knits: The New Knitter's Guide with Easy Patterns


Two Needles, Many Knits is a comprehensive tutorial book with patterns for knitting a number of projects including clothing, accessories and soft furnishings written and curated by Qualn Stark.  Due out 3rd Sept 2024 from Callisto, it'll be 152 pages and will be available in paperback and ebook formats.

This new collection delivers precisely as promised on the cover: a collection of up-to-date, attractive, beginner to intermediate accessible projects that readers will *want* to create. It includes a basic learn to knit tutorial guide, followed by the patterns. They're a varied lot and they're divided into three groups by difficulty: level 1-3.

Patterns contain a description, materials list with yarns notions and supplies needed, followed by step by step instructions. Written directions are clear and easy to understand. Each pattern is also accompanied by one or more color photos. 

Four stars. Nothing absolutely ground-breaking here.. but the projects are all simple enough for beginners, with clear directions, attractive finishing, and nice color choices. Working through some of these projects will give new knitters the skills and confidence they need to move to the next level.

Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
