      February 23, 2009: Even though I am an experienced knitter, this book is really handy to look at and see which technique is the best and maybe different from what you usually do. It has detailed explanations of not only how to do things, but also the pros and cons of doing a certain technique.

      A must-buy for the perfectionistby Anonymous

      October 23, 2004: This book is perfect for the beginner or advanced knitter. I have been knitting for over 50 years and yet learned a lot from it. I recommended it to someone I was teaching to knit. With it, even her first sweater will look good. The directions are extremely clear, as are the illustrations. The author even gives the advantages and disadvantages of each technique. It includes instructions to improve those ugly stepped shoulder seams. A sloped shoulder seam is important for a good fit, but I often did not do them because they look so sloppy. This is the one book I don't keep in my bookcase. It is in my knitting bag with my current project.
