I've known about steeks for some time, but the idea of actually cutting into my knitting made me quake. Leapman's explanation is sufficient and calming enough that I may give it a try.2. What about double knitting? The previous instructions I've tried were insufficient to make this a useful technique for me. Now I've changed my mind, and I've already completed a cap for a cancer patient who complains of a cold head.3. The book is packed with tips on keeping an even tension when doing stranded knitting. In addition, there are many charts that you can use to create your own color knits.CONS:1. While I do not believe this is a negative, knitters looking for complete sweater patterns will not find many in this book. Leapman's focus is on technique and chartings, so if you're looking for garment patterns, this will not be the book you want.2. The book itself does not lie flat when it's open. To work from a chart it will be necessary to copy the chart to a separate page, or to weight the pages to keep the book open.OVERALL:There's plenty here to delight most knitters - stranded knitting, double knits, intarsia and a wealth of charts to get you started. A worthy addition to your knitting library! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars This book saved my sanity. *by P***P on Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2021* I bought a pattern for a scarf with a cat on the front and on the back Maggies. I purchased dark grey and light grey yarn and sat down to knit. Reading the instructions I soon realized that this was a double knit project and I have never double knit anything. I don't have any double knit patterns but I thought it was good that I would learn this method. I tried and tried the limited instructions (they apparently assumed that you knew how to double knit). I watched several you tube videos and found that not only was the stitch different, everything was different. I had a couple of knit instruction books but they did not have double knit instructions they had double knit cast ons. I am 84 so that might be part of it but I have never run into this problem. I became extremely frustrated and I have never ripped out so many stitches ever. I found this book on Amazon and it proved to be the solution. It is so well written and easy to understand.My husband is also very glad that I found the solution in this book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars is an excellent designer and a wonderful teacher *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2015* Melissa Leapman, the author, is an excellent designer and a wonderful teacher. I have done basic knitting in the past, although not for awhile, as my current interest is color crocheting to create fun, warm squares quickly for a charity I crochet for. This book is the inspiration I needed; I purchased it to have it when I have more time to devote to it and frankly, I am impatiently waiting to begin learning the different techniques Melissa explains very, very well.I've spent plenty of time reading this book; it is very well illustrated and the projects are gorgeous. There are different ways of approaching adding color to knitting and they are explored in detail. I have the knitting needles, two basic knitting books to get myself up to speed in knitting (those are definitely NOT needed for people who already knit! lol ) and on to this exciting book. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/828949-mastering-color-knitting-simple-instructions-for-stranded-intarsia-and-double](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/828949-mastering-color-knitting-simple-instructions-for-stranded-intarsia-and-double) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
