The problem with stitch dictionaries in print is that they’re limited.

By definition, a picture, preferably in color, needs to be included, and that means a large stitch dictionary is going to be a very pricey thing to print and publish, indeed.

Barbara Walker’s stitch dictionaries are classics of their kind, but the small black and white photos can keep knitters from seeing the potential of the stitch. So The Walker Treasury Project has stepped up to the plate.

Volunteer knitters are swatching each stitch (the stitch pattern itself is NOT included) and posting the picture, so fellow knitters can see a large picture of the pattern in color.

Very handy, whether you have the stitch dictionary or not (although, of course, much more handy if you do!).
