Not worth the money.

Essentially, the first 33 pages of this book are instructions for casting, tying, accessories, circular knitting and one or the other important piece of information. The same information can be found in almost every book on the market. The rest of this book (about 200 pages) are examples of different stitches that can be made as a pattern. Several models were added for testing (hats, vest, wallet, etc.) but none of them interested me at all. I was looking for knitting tips and tricks, clearโ€ฆ

Pros
  • practical article
Cons
  • So far, so good

Excellent book!

I have both this book and the crochet version and I have to say they are both great. I was looking for a book that did a great job of illustrating both complex and simple patterns, with clear instructions that were easy to follow. This book is undeniably attractive; The colors and detail of the photos are wonderful and I want to try every stitch in the book! However, I'm having trouble deciphering some of the instructions. I was taught the basics of knitting by a friend, so I didn't knowโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • old

I had an idea to try knitting a cotton summer blanket, but I needed instructions and an idea of what the different types of knitting look like. There are MANY high-quality photos in this book, and they are even large enough to be visible and useful ;) Stitch photos are organized by type, with more emphasis on the progression of the stitch image, with "easy, intermediate, expert" classifiers appearing under each photo. It sounds a little counterintuitive, but I like the layout because it's soโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Dope ๐Ÿ”ฅ
Cons
  • Expensive
