"For someone new to knitting (me) this book is a God send. The tutorials are easy to understand and follow, and she makes knitting sound fun and fresh, yet with a history to respect. The projects are worthy of copying (I love the bags), and this is just an all around great reference book for your library. The author, the founder and editor of Bust Magazine, made a huge impact on bringing knitting back to the trendy set. She deserves a lot of respect for that."
I was able to follow the information in this book and actually learn how to progress in my knitting skills without a person sitting in the room to teach me.
All other attempts I ever made to understand a book failed. Until this point I needed someone to be there with me showing me with their actions, and guiding my hands to catch on.
For that reason I recommend this book. It is full of information about what you are supposed to do, and the common mistakes, and what the mistakes look like so you can figure out what you did.
I am practicing what I learned from the book, and I will check it out again (if I don't just buy it somewhere), so I can learn some of the more advanced things when I feel I have gotten good at the things I learned this time around."
"This was my bible when I was first learning how to knit. My mom taught me years and years ago, but when I wanted to learn again, I picked this up.
It's good for basic instruction and it has some fun, cute patterns... but I had to rely on a few knitting videos on youtube as well as some other instructional websites to really get things. It would be a great supplement if you are learning and can reference things in this book as well as have someone show you basics. If you don't know anyone who knits, most local yarn stores have classes. If they don't, they're usually happy to help out newbies."
"Knitting is not just for grandmothers anymore. This book is great for a beginner and someone who wants to knit for a younger crowd. The first half of the book consists of directions for the basic stitches, increasing and decreasing, sewing seams, and other basic knitting skills. What I liked about this section was the pictures--you can actually see the stitches up close and what the finished product is supposed to look like (unlike the cheap how-to book that came with a kit I bought). The second half of the book features color photos of knitted items with accompanying patterns. The items actually look like something you'd see in a store and want to buy. The patterns include a list of skills you'll need before starting the project and the page on which you'll find that lesson, so you always know what you're getting yourself into before you start. It's a great reference book and a great gift."
