Originally published in 1938, Mary Thomas’s Knitting Book is a classic reference. This book contains clear, easy to understand illustrations of over 250 knitting techniques and explanations of everything from blocking to ball winding to basic garment construction. 70 years after its initial publication, Mary Thomas’s Knitting Book has proven itself to be in the same league as references by Elizabeth Zimmerman and Barbara Walker. No knitting library is complete without this book.
