100 Ways to Improve Your Machine Knitting
Get more knitting done while having more fun!
Diana's new book (just a book, no DVD this time) is a large compilation of machine knitting tips and information.  Diana chose 100 favorite tips, ideas, and instructions gathered over my 35+ years of machine knitting, being a dealer, working with a club, and teaching seminars.  Some of these are little things, some are more essential, but each one is a way to improve your machine knitting skills, reduce frustration, and generally enjoy the hobby more.
This book will help you move toward mastery of machine knitting, fitting, and finishing, and make machine knitting much easier.  It's a down-to-earth book - you  start where you are with the equipment you already have or can afford to acquire, be practical about yarn, supplies, and tools, and enjoy making projects more.
