Do you love the look of handmade knitted pieces? Do you lack the patience to complete a knitwork gift by hand?
Did you get a fancy knitting machine, but have no idea how best to use it?
Look no further than this essential pocket guidebook! In this book, I'll show you how to use your fancy technological knitting machine to create masterful and beautiful knitted pieces.
I have always loved the way that handmade knitted gifts look. I love the way making something from scratch showed that you put that much more thought and care into that hat or blanket.
We live in a world where time is money, and most people are too busy or too stressed to try to create handmade knitted items with old-fashioned knitting needles and their two bare hands. We have invented nifty knitting machines to take the stress out of creating these handmade gifts.
