Poorly written instructions

I like most of the drawings in the book, but the instructions leave a lot to be desired. I don't consider myself a beginner knitter - I knit a lot of complex things. I thought this book would be good for a break. Not correct. I'm making a sweater right now and the instructions are awful! It says to decrease 15 rows in each row. He should have said to decrease each line from EACH PAGE by 15 lines. This is the second major flaw in the template, and that's just the back end. I caught the error…

Pros
  • Hands free
Cons
  • Very expensive

Pros
  • nice thing
Cons

Normally I'd love to cheat on something like this, but given the amount of typos I keep finding in sample books I buy. To hell with that. Tech Edit your stuff before people type! but even the templates included aren't necessarily "very basic" and the release dates range from 2006 to 2012, so some are over…

Pros
  • Easy install
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
