The Very Easy Guide to Cable Knitting by Lynne Watterson, softback published by Search Press. ISBN 978-1-84448-531-4, price 12.99 from www.searchpress.com
As a big fan of cables, this was a welcome addition to my collection of knitting books. It contains all a beginner needs to know, basics of knitting, yarns, tools of the trade and finishing techniques. The stitches include ‘real’ and mock cables. Some of the photographs are very large close-ups, making it very clear what you need to do. For the more experienced knitter, there are stitches you perhaps won’t have come across but there is nothing too challenging here. It’s wonderful to put a name to all those cables I have been knitting over the years. There are also contemporary projects such as mug cosies. A good mix of stitches and 13 projects.
