About the Author

Originally founded by Condé Nast in 1932, Vogue Knitting magazine, now published by Soho Publishing, is the most respected and recognizable fashion knitting magazine in the world.

Editorial Reviews

The editors of Vogue Knitting have assembled an encyclopedia covering all things knitting, from designers to techniques to history. The entries range from brief to extensive, depending on the complexity of the subject, and illustrations and photographs abound. One-page essays from big names in knitting (e.g., Debbie Bliss, Nicky Epstein, Meg Swansen) are interspersed throughout, providing a respite from the encyclopedia entries. Vogue Knitting: The Ultimate Knitting Book is a better knitting reference choice, but this guide's entries about knitting history, designers, trends, and publications add appeal.
