Black and White Knitting Machine Manual
Lots of pictures, which are all in black and white.Close to 90 percent of this book is identical to the manuals that come with the machines - very basic. The DVD does show the casting on, knitting, intarsia, transfering stitches and binding off taking place, but no sound.? I finally got to see a linker in action. There is a chapter on blocking and assembling a sweater. The final chapter has a couple projects . . . a scarf, hat, sweater and slippers. I actually made 2 sets of slippers - which uses the 'short-rowing' technique.Not a very creative book, I was expecting to learn to do some fancy stitches on my machine. But, if you've lost your manual(s), this is your book.

I Wish More College Textbooks Were This Good & Useful
Both of the authors are instructors at the University of Cincinnati in the Fashion Design Program. This is a textbook designed for students to use who have no prior background in machine knitting and are required to produce several graments by the end of the quarter. I believe the authors expect the students/reader to provide the creativity and authors provide the technical knowledge needed to produce what the students have designed. I found the book to be an excellent beginning to understanding and being able to use a knitting machine.
