Hi
Being a lazy knitter, I’m always mooching about for anything that makes life easier and is especially good at [I]clearly explaining [/I]why something is done in particular way and what the result will look like.
Came across this cracker of a book that you can dip into whenever the need arises:

Scroll down the Table of Contents - for a ton of very clear instruction and photos.
I was looking instructions of just how many stitches should be picked up on a rib as compared to stocking stitch and just hit Chapter 24, which explained the mystery of why I’d ended up with a slightly curved button band :?? on a child’s cardigan!
