This a very nice reference. I would find it more helpful with pictures. But all in all it’s thoughtful, well written, and a useful reference. Thank you for the opportunity to review this book.

Thanks to F+W Media and NetGalley for the review copy. Opinions are fully mine.

#TheKnittersDictionary #NetGalley

This book has virtually no content. It is simply a list of knitting terms, with a handful of explanations thrown in. Most of the terms listed do not have any definitions at all.

Was there was some sort of huge mistake in the upload? This is not a book, but merely an alphabetical list. No illustrations or photos, either.

This is an essential book for all knitters.
Here is compiled all information and tips to be ready and complete a perfect project.
This will be very handy for beginners, and long time knitters that are stuck in patterns.
Love the detailed description and easy to follow instructions.

Thank you Net Galley for this pre publication copy. Unfortunately I cannot give it a review because it is not far enough advanced in the publication process and most of the key points have not been give any detail. I would be interested in looking at this again when it has been compiled full. So I’m giving it a 3 stars hopefully that will increase who the book is completed!

This is a wonderful modern take on a knitting dictionary and more!
This guide compiles all the knitting language and pattern abbreviations you have ever wondered about along with helpful tips and tricks along the way.
Each entry is written in a clear manner. Atherley covers everything from knitting abbreviations like C4B to the different types of sweater silhouettes in an organized A-Z fashion for easy referral.
A great resource and a must have for knitting beginners and beyond!

Thank you to Net Galley and F=W Media for the advance copy!
