A truly complete kit with book, yarn, needles, etc.,
This review is from: The Complete Knitting Set (Misc. Supplies)
More than just a book on knitting this is a complete kit to learn knitting. It includes a book on techniques, a book of 19 projects, some yarn, two 4mm knitting needles, stitch holder, yarn bobbin, cable needle, and 12 stitch library cards for quick reference. The techniques book includes information on equipment and materials as well as the expected techniques of casting on, knit and purl stitches, twisting, binding off, how to hold the working piece, and several different stitch patterns. It also gets into more complex items such as paired shapings, the double decrease, using four or more needles at the same time, knitting in the round, cable stitches, bobbles, bead knitting, and fastenings. The projects book includes a knitted bag, a colorful toddler's cardigan, man's Guernsey-style sweater, lacy scarf, woman's chunky sweater, baby's jacket, girl's jacket, and even hats, scarves, and socks. For someone wanting to learn how to knit or just getting started "The Complete Knitting Set" is highly recommended.

Poor Instructional Guide--Avoid like the Plague,
By
This review is from: The Complete Knitting Set (Misc. Supplies)
I bought this kit with the hopes of learning how to knit--but alas, the instructions were difficult to understand and I ended up searching online to find out how to knit and purl. The nice part of the kit is that you have needles and yarn to start out with so you don't have to wander into a yarn store and stare cluelessly at the shelves. If you want to learn how to knit, get size 7 needles, a skein of cheap 100% acrylic, and "The Knit Stitch" and "The Purl Stitch" by Sally Melville. The website http://www.stitchguide.com/ has great video demonstrations of stitches as well, and was a great deal more helpful than the Reader's Digest booklet that came with the kit.

Simply frustrating,
By
This review is from: The Complete Knitting Set (Misc. Supplies)
As a beginning knitter, I found this kit completely frustrating. While the kit has lots of great projects and is nicely packaged, the instructions are nothing less than awful. The written instructions are vague and don't even correspond to the accompanying photos. (The knitter in the photo is usually several steps ahead of you, so it's impossible to tell how your own needles and yarn should be arranged.) Incredibly aggravating.
