"The Knitting Teacher's Assistant" is a handbook originally designed for teachers of needlework in girls' schools. Presented in the form of simple questions and answers, this volume aims to tackle all possible problems and queries relating to each design. A fantastic volume for novice knitters and those looking for some inspiration alike. Contents include: "Questions on Knitting", "Narrowing", "The Heel", "The Foot", "For A Stocking Of Eighty-Five Stitches, Second Size", "For A Stocking Of Ninety-Nine Stitches, Fourth Size", "For A Stocking Of A Hundred and Nine Stitches, Fifth Size", "For A Stocking Of A Hundred and Nine Stitches In Scotch Fingering, Man's Size", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on knitting.
