In recent years, I have begun to really appreciate the joys of a phone with a good-sized screen or an iPad. In addition to all their other wonders, it is so good being able to read books or knitting patterns when you are out and about.
Just being able to quickly check some detail or search for a stitch for that perfect yarn you have just found is invaluable. It is so good being to zoom in to see small details too. No more squinting at tiny little stitch charts in a print book!
Then when you get back home, you can park your iPad back into its holder and use the same stitch information while you are planning your next project. It really is the best of both worlds – use your computer when you are at a desk, or a mobile device when you're not.

So when we were planning our new book, Reversible Knitting Stitches, we wanted to make sure that it could be used both when you're at home on your computer and on the road too! You can dip in and out of an E-book, jump ahead, go back to where you just were or read something in depth. It just makes life so simple.
So we formatted the book to maximise the capabilities of mobile devices. This includes a set of formatted bookmarks for the different Chapters and Sections so you can easily navigate around the book. There are also thumbnail images of all the pages so it is easy to scroll through those to help locate stitches you'd like to investigate.
I also love the "search" function on a phone and often use that to hunt for stitch patterns that we have noted would be good for a blanket or a tea cozy, for example. That is such a powerful tool.
For more information about this brand-new book, please click here.
And thanks to everyone for all the great messages about the book – it's so good to hear that everyone is as enthusiastic as we are ourselves!
Happy Reversible Knitting!
