Author Andrea Berman Price defines Knitspeak as “a combination of words, abbreviations, numbers and punctuation that is unintelligible to the average human and – unfortunately – to the new knitter”. If you’ve often been stymied by pattern directions and knitting language in general, this informative book will help navigate you through the esoteric world of knitting. The book is organized by sections: how to read knitting patterns, terms in alphabetical order including numbers, symbols, abbreviations and whole phrases and an appendix with useful tips, techniques (how to make pompoms for example) and resources. Never stop knitting again because you don’t understand the instructions! 224 pages  | hardcover Retail: $17.95 Item No. 30982
