Thought this topic would be a good place for folks to recommend their favorite knitting books. I will start with 2:
A Second Treasury of Knitting Patterns by Barbara G Walker. This is a mainly a stitch dictionary and is amazing. If you are a fan of Barbara's, you might want to take a look at https://thewalkertreasury.wordpress.com/ whose mission is: About the Project
Calling All Volunteers
Every knitter knows that Barbara Walker’s Treasuries are indispensable. We use them constantly for designing, for help with a difficult pattern, and for pure inspiration. Sometimes, though, the mostly black-and-white and small pictures keep us from seeing the full potential of a pattern. That’s where the Walker Treasury Project comes in.
We are gathering high-quality, color photos of all the patterns in all the Treasury books (including Mosaic Knitting) and putting them on the internet as a visual aide to this wonderful collection. Help your fellow knitters by choosing a pattern from a particular book, working up a nice big swatch in a light-colored yarn, and posting it to our blog. We can help you label and categorize everything. Also, keep in mind that we’re not posting the pattern, just the picture!
Another book which I just found out about today is from one of our OU Members ilexedits. It is called Stitch by Bloody Stitch: Knitting Charts Explained and is available as a free download on her websitehttp://hollybriscoe.com/first-edition-announced/.
