Hand-Manipulated Stitches for Machine Knitters

I am a new machine knitter and was amazed at the possibilities. Machine knitting has apparently taken a downturn with many manufacturers discontinuing products as needle knitting is gaining recent popularity. If only people saw this book first,they would never want to try to use needles! I can't wait to try many of the techniques illustrated in this book!

I obtained this book after I had been machine-knitting for about 2-3 years, and have found it an inexhaustible treasure-trove of techniques, tips and patterns. I refer to it over and over. It's worth 10x its price. Whether you are a brand-new machine-knitter, or a seasoned one, this book will never collect dust on your shelf----you might even find yourself needing to buy a new one!

This book is absolutely great! It explaines different techniques with easy to follow instructions accompanied by photographs. This book is "hands on" and has helped me many a times to conquer some of the techniques that I would have otherwise never had the courage to use. Even on techniques I already (thought I) knew it gave me useful hints and tips and an insight into how to do it easier and better. Do you know the feeling when "the penny drops"? This is what is was like following the instructions of this book. It is the most used MK book in my library.

A wonderful resource just PACKED with tips, designs, beautiful pictures and easy to follow charts and instructions.

Wow! I never realized that there are SO MANY stitches I can create with my knitting machine. Susan's instructions are thorough and the many illustrations help to visualize what the stitches will look like in your garment(s).Definitely a buy!!
