There are other books that have similar goals and similar structures, but this one does it very well. I like the way Leapman describes things, I like her eye for color, and her balance between being new and creative while sticking to tradition. Her books are always a treat, and her explanations are always helpful.
Books are my guilty pleasure (aside from knitting that can technically be called my job). If I ever go on a shopping spree, it usually happens in a bookstore. I find lots of helpful information in knitting books, and in this section, I list my favourite books along with a few notes about the book itself and what I like most about it.

I am not very good at colorwork when I am knitting but I have perused this book when visiting my mum and it looks like it might really help: Mastering Color Knitting: Simple Instructions for Stranded, Intarsia, and Double Knitting.
I love both LAST MINUTE KNITTED GIFTS books by Joelle Hoverson. Ranges from hats, scarves, Mitts, leg warmers, vests, shawls, sweaters, etc..Thick yarn, funky patterns, and great TV knitting as well as more complex pieces. Best of all, the patterns knit up quickly, so you have a feeling of accomplishment.
If you want more information: Craftsy has an excellent class on stranded colorwork that might be interesting for you: Stranded Colorwork: Basics and Beyond, with Sunne Meyer (*). It does not just show you in-depth how to catch floats in various knitting styles, but there is added information on fixing mistakes in colorwork, on how to choose colors and it has a few projects included (mittens) that you can practice your new skills with.
2:30 P.M. Call from my friend Kristy, who is about to take off to a knitting conference in California to sign copies of her gorgeous book Modern Top-Down Knitting. We were writing our books at the same time and had many lunches together at Choshi Sushi to help get through the process. Looking forward to catching up next week and hearing about her trip. Always very inspiring to see what she is working on, and now that I am done with my book I have actually been knitting again, too, so will have something to bring for show-and-tell.
Pamela is hosting the next Knit and Nibble meeting and can't wait to liven up her otherwise empty home with colorful yarn, baking, and a little harmless gossip. She even recruits Amy Morgan, an old friend who recently moved to town, as the group's newest member. But on the night of the gathering, Amy doesn't show. Not until Pamela finds the woman dead outside - a knitting needle stabbed through the front of her handmade sweater....
The type read by the elderly borrowers, and those with toil-hardenedhands, or suffering from some nervous affection, was formulated by ablind man, Dr. William Moon, of London, about 1845, and is called Moontype. The characters are large and distinct, many of them being shapedlike the ordinary printed letters. They are easily learned, and thistype is invaluable, not only for old people, but in cases where, inorder to restore lost confidence, a quick return is imperative. Dr. Moonlost his eyesight in early manhood, and spent the remaining years of hislife perfecting his system, printing books and pamphlets, and goingabout teaching the poor of London, thus inaugurating home teaching forthe blind. Moon type books have been printed in many languages, andthousands of men and women have been blessed and brightened by theunique philanthropy of this blind man. His son, Robert Moon, brought thetype to Pennsylvania, and that state and ours lead in the number of Moonbooks in circulation. Often when a borrower has read Moon for six monthsor a year, he is able to learn the Braille, his fingers being trained bythe Moon to remain in a proscribed space, and his confidence in theirability fully established. This is a potent factor in mastering a dottedsystem, as the progress is generally slow and laborious, especially forelderly people.
Our work carries us into hospitals and almshouses, and, through theco-operation of charitable organizations, we find the poor and, inaddition to teaching them to read, we endeavor to better theircondition, and the charities are always glad to second our efforts. Theteacher in Los Angeles goes regularly to the County Hospital and CountyFarm, and up here I teach in the San Francisco Hospital, Relief Home,and in the San Leandro Infirmary, and it is a great joy to minister tothese lonely, friendless souls. In the Relief Home I have a splendidclass, and I go there once each week, and read to all the men in theward, blind and seeing, before giving the lessons. Two of the men areknitting, one is making squares for the Belgian baby blankets, and theother a muffler for the Navy League. When I asked for volunteerknitters, one old colored man said, "Madam, my hands are not steadyenough to knit, but I can hold the yarn for some man to wind."
I have thus far spoken of the prevention of blindness in children, andnow I wish to call your attention to what is being done for theconservation of vision in childhood. In the lecture on the developmentof the blind child, I mentioned special classes for blind children inthe public schools. In most of the cities having such classes (Chicagoand Los Angeles excepted), sight saving classes, as they are called, aremaintained. In these conservation classes, the children do not read withtheir fingers, but books in heavy face, large type are provided. And forthese books we are indebted to Mr R. B. Irwin, the blind supervisor ofspecial classes in Cleveland. So here again we find a blind man planningnot only the advancement of blind children, but the conservation ofvision of partially-sighted children. In these classes desk blackboardsare provided, and a great deal of oral instruction is given, and theamount of reading is limited. A great deal of handwork is required andeverything possible is done to save eyestrain. Much time and thought isgiven to the proper lighting of schoolrooms, and to the color scheme ofthe buildings. Light should not be judged by its brightness, but ratherby the way it helps us to see what we are looking at. Walls should havelight paper or tinting, as dark walls absorb light strongly, instead ofreflecting it. Reds, greens and browns reflect only ten to fifteen percent of the light which falls on them; while cream-color or lightyellowish tints reflect over one-half the light. be457b7860
