Product Description
Excerpt: “The first thing to be done in knitting is to cast on or, as it is sometimes called, to “set up the foundation.” (Figure 1). There are several methods for this, the following being that preferred and generally used by the writer: Place a spare end of thread, sufficient for the number of stitches you wish to cast on, lying toward the left, the spool or ball from which the effective-thread is drawn being at the right. Lay the thread between the small finger and the third of the left hand; bring the effective-thread across the palm of the hand, around the thumb and back between the forefinger and second finger; bend the forefinger over this thread (which passes between it and the second finger), pass it under the thread which crosses the palm of the hand, and then draw the forefinger back, or straighten it, which will give you a loop with crossed threads. Place the needle under the lower part of this loop, which draws from the ball, bring the effective-thread (or ball-thread) around the point of needle from right to left, as in unadorned knitting, draw it back through the loop, slip off the latter, and draw up the left thread. Then proceed to make the crossed loop and knit it off in the same way for the next and following stitches. The whole operation is very simple, although the instructions seem long because explicit. Take your needle and yarn or thread and follow them through carefully, and you will very soon master the “crossed casting on.”

Another craft book lacking images. Seasoned crafters will have no problems. Do not recommend for new knitters and crocheters.

this is not the full book edition. You can find this same book with illustrations on multiple websites that publish copyright-free books. I do not know the point of stripping all the pictures from a knitting book, building it useless.
Amazon, it is not nice. Why do you remove pictures from persons books?! Now I am really hesitant to buy kindle books that have to have pictures.

It is right that this has no pictures, but it has a wealth of patterns and projects. I knit regularly and can see building many of the items. This was a free download for my birthday present (a kindle). It will be simpler to carry with me than printed pattern pages or books. I reflect the value is fantastic agreed that it was FREE!
