Take a look at a selection of books that have made a huge impact on my knitting knowledge.
Although we have so much at our fingertips with the internet and social media, in my humble opinion, books are a tried and true resource that you can return to for inspiration and instruction.
Having them on your bookshelf and being able to flip through and turn their pages again and again, provides a joy that the internet and social media cannot replace.
