Kathy talks with Leslie Ann, WEBS weaving Manager, about her new book How to Knit, from Storey publishing.
This is Leslie Ann’s second book, her first being Cast On, Bind Off. This book is an introduction to knitting and takes the reader from zero to a comfortable working knowledge of how to knit as well as the basic stitches, terms and tools. This is the book you grab when you have that grandchild/nephew/sister/friend who wants to learn to knit!

I have CAST ON, BIND OFF, by Leslie Ann Bestor and wondered if there were any errors, as I had trouble following the instructions for one of the methods. Is there an “Errata” page, or is it a case of “user error”?
Meanwhile, I will keep trying!
Thanks.
