Outstanding!,

This review is from: Holiday Knits: 25 Great Gifts from Stockings to Sweaters (Paperback)
This is, by far, the best knitting book I own. The instructions are very clear and in plain english. The back section explains each stitch very simply. The authors offer lots of personal tips on each project. The book, itself, is beautiful. The pictures are crisp and admirable, the set up is intuitive. I love the way it breaks the projects down into the amount of time it will take to complete each one. I have flipped through some other holiday knitting books, and the same old predictable Santa intarsia is featured in each one. These designs are classic and perfect for gift giving.

The best book I have purchased,
By Danie (Kentucky) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Holiday Knits: 25 Great Gifts from Stockings to Sweaters (Paperback)
I just received this book. I have many, many books on knitting. Most of the books have a few patterns that I would consider, but this book...I wish I had received it earlier because I want to make every pattern. It is the first book that I have received where I will find time to make everything. I have a pretty good idea what everybody on my list is getting next Christmas. If you want something that has some different ideas in knitting, plus cute, different standbys, get this book.

I picked up with book in the book store to have something to look at while my children played with the train set. I had no intention of buying it, but I loved it. The entire book is wonderful. The patterns are doable, cute and easy. The photography is great too. I bought the book and can't wait to finish all the projects!
