My Knitting Book (Second Series)

A lovingly revised guide for stitch‑lovers, this second series builds on an earlier classic with fresh patterns, clearer diagrams and dozens of new illustrations. The author walks readers through the essential vocabulary—casting on, ribbing, turning the yarn—so even newcomers can follow the instructions without getting lost in outdated jargon. Each project is laid out step by step, encouraging a confident hand at needle and yarn.

Beyond the technical side, the book captures the spirit of mid‑Victorian needlework, offering elegant designs for sweaters, shawls and decorative nets that were popular across Britain and America. Practical tips for correcting common mistakes, along with space for readers to note their own adjustments, make it feel like a conversation with a seasoned mentor. Listeners will find both a useful handbook and a pleasant glimpse into the craft’s rich history.
