- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This book isn't terrible, but the illustrations are hard to follow and there's at least one reference to a technique which is never covered in the book. I recommend Debbie Stoller's "Stitch 'N Bitch: The Knitter's Handbook" over this book.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5There are two different editions of this work and they differ slightly. The second edition has more web resources and shares a few patterns but has a few more in total. It also seems to be better organise and flow for the learner in a better way.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I am a beginning knitter and this is one of my books that I use regularly. It has wonderful pictures and instructions for every stitch used by knitters. It explains everything in minute detail. A must have.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I've made a dozen half-scarves based on everything I've learned in this book.
