Perfect Guide to Casting On & Binding Off by Jen Lucas

Description How to Begin and End Your Knitting with Confidence: The Ultimate Guide to Casting On and Binding Off is every knitter’s essential guide to two of the most important aspects of knitting! Within these pages, author Jen Lucas gives every project knitter what they need for a solid start (casting on) and finish (binding off), much like a pilot mastering the art of taking off and landing. But it won’t be overwhelming for beginners. The wide selection of step-by-step methods you’ll find inside will help you from getting “tied up” in the minutiae, giving you renewed confidence for tackling your favorite hobby with ease. Knitting is one of America’s favorite pastimes—but it never hurts to know how to start and finish! In the Ultimate Guide to Casting On and Binding Off, author Jen Lucas offers a comprehensive instruction manual for beginners who need to learn the art of casting on and binding off before they master their craft. Though it includes a wide selection of easy-to-follow, step-by-step methods with high-quality supporting details, it’s a highly portable reference that can fit in your knitting bag for easy transport. It’s not only for beginners, though. Lucas’s tips, tricks, and advice all come from her decades of experience in the craft—including working as a pattern designer. But even if you’re beginning from scratch, this book offers a handy overview of tools and materials you need to “cast on” your metaphorical stitch and fully embrace this wonderfully relaxing hobby.
