Book Description/Synopsis:

More knitters than ever are using circular needles and enjoying the convenience, ease and efficiency of knitting in the round. Circular Knitting Workshop teaches every aspect of circular knitting and empowers knitters of all levels to discover the satisfaction of knitting in the round. Circular knitting has many benefits including making it easier to follow charts (with the right-side of the work always facing the knitter) and eliminating the need for seams. Margaret Radcliffe, author of The Knitting Answer Book, is a master teacher. She presents Fair Isle, twined, helix, tubular and other classic techniques in detailed step-by-step photographic sequences. Thirty-five demonstration projects let readers try out each new technique on a mini-version of a sock, hat, bag, mitten, sweater or vest before applying it to a larger project. Margaret also shows readers how to convert patterns written for straight needles to circular.
