Welcome to A Knitter Obsessed!
#knittingpodcast #knitting
Today I'm reviewing all of the knitting technique and pattern books I have collected so far. These are just my opinions and all of the books have been purchased by me.
I added notes about the size inclusivity of each pattern book down below. If you have any questions about these books that I haven’t covered either here or in the video, please feel free to send me an email!
