Great Book for A Newbie |
|
The last time I knit anything I think I was in the 7th grade, and we learned how to knit a scarf. That was more than 30 years ago, and when I decided to try again, I researched a lot of books. I picked this one up and knew immediately that this was the right place to start. I am literally working my way page by page, trying out each technique and creating samples (from low-cost yarn) while practicing each and every stitch. There have been only two occasions when I was having trouble understanding how to do a stitch, and I found a great resource on YouTube. If you can't quite "get" what is written, check out "The Knit Witch" videos on YouTube. There are a lot of videos on knitting, but Knit Witch has great lighting, a good contrasting background, big needles, and a person describing the stitch who is the perfect voice and knitter to do this. So combining those videos with this book (and they are not related)has helped me zip through some surprisingly difficult stitch patterns. I've been very proud of myself when I follow the instructions and then see an amazing pattern emerge from my knitting needles. I'm still a beginner, but I'm up to cable stitches, after having worked my way through all the basic knit and purl stitches, and some of the fancier ones. I can do some interesting cast-ons, and can bind off knitwise, purlwise, in pattern and with a crochet hook, and I didn't know how to do ANY of that before I picked up this book. I'd give it six stars if I could. |

What a book! |
|
As a beginning knitter I am so thrilled with Sharon's easy to follow knitting tutorial. I used to think that books wouldn't be able to guide me through my knitting but I don't believe that anymore. The first pattern I picked out to follow was beyond clear and before I knew it I was celebrating the results! I can see that Sharon's book will make the complicated - easy and help my knitting aspirations come true! |

Easy to follow, clear basic instruction |
Used this book to learn how to knit. Its very easy to understand and the step-by-step pictures really help illustrate the instructions. Still refer to the book repeatedly as a great reference to more complicated stitches and patterns.
The book has very easy patterns to get you started on your knitting. So far have followed the patterns for wrist warmers, and mittens. Both were easy to follow and a delight to give as gifts. |

Wonderful World of Knitting! |
|
I had bought this book as a gift and was told that the book was so easy to follow and the pictures made everything look so simple. After all the raving from my friend, I couldn't resist and bought me the book a few days later. I've always wanted to learn to knit and now look forward to learning how! |
