Published in 1986, this is an encyclopedic knitting book which covers everything from knitting abreviations to zippers. The book is carefully laid out with distinction made between common knitting techniques and the more obscure. In most cases she provides multiple ways of accomplishing tasks. This book is available in VPL. Read my review of the Handknitters Handbook here.
