    Synopsis

    Here’s everything a novice knitter needs to know, complete with beautiful projects, presented in an easy-to-follow question-and-answer format: How do I hold the yarn while I am knitting? How do I change or add colors? How do I knit an entire garment in one piece? How do I fix mistakes? Start with simple items such as kitchen cloths and baby booties, and keep on mastering new and more advanced techniques until you can create such fun and fashionable projects as an Origami Jacket and Window Pane Beaded Pendant Bag.
    “Its attractiveness and clarity make it excellent....The text leads off with important basics [but] the challenge—and attractiveness—of a number of projects gives the book appeal to more experienced knitters as well.”—Booklist

    August 25, 2008: I bought this book when I was a beginner, thinking I could use it teach myself, but I found the directions and pictures too confusing. There wasn't any cool beginner patterns I could do. I personally don't see this book as a worthy buy unless if you are advanced in level.

    January 20, 2004: I love the patterns for kids' sweaters in this book; however, I think that if I really were knitting for the first time, I would be pretty confused by the instructions. Pick this one up after you've gotten a little knitting experience, especially if you have little ones to knit for!
