Stanfield’s classic receives a facelift in The Knitter’s Stitch Collection. Originally called The Essential Stitch Collection for Knitters, the fundamental framework of the book is relatively unchanged. Divided into eight categories, from knit and purl to letters and numbers, every section first displays all the stitches in color swatches (called the stitch selector), then singles out the stitch, featuring a bit of description along with charts and, usually, written directions.Dominated by cable and lace variations, the stitch names are fairly evocative: Celtic knot, kilimstar, polka dot, allium. Symbols run as a bottom-of-the-page banner and are more thoroughly explained in the last chapter along with inserts on using the stitches, a gallery of ideas,instructions on essential techniques, and abbreviations and symbols. Still a vital reference for any category of knitter.
