This isn't your typical beginner's guide. Patty digs into the anatomy of a stitch, exploring how yarn and technique shape your finished fabric. She tackles the problems most knitters don't even notice they're making, then walks you through fixes that actually stick. From understanding stitch structure to troubleshooting complex issues, you'll build a deeper command of your craft — and improve the look of every project. Expect Patty's signature humour and irreverence throughout; you might take knitting seriously, but you don't have to be serious while knitting.
