1.0 out of 5 stars Great Idea, But this book is full of inaccuracies, February 25, 2005

I loved the book when I took it home. However, after actually trying many of the design stiches offered, I have found that plenty of patterns have mistakes in them. At the end of the day, trying to correct some of the mistakes takes more time than is saved by having the directory. go elsewhere for your stitch library needs

1.0 out of 5 stars Thought this was a good buy, but ..., April 3, 2005

I am trying to learn to knit on my own. I found this book and flipped through it in the bookstore. It looked like a great book to own.

When I got home, I began to try knitting some of the simple patterns. I thought I was not knitting correctly because the patterns were just not working. After the third pattern being completely incorrect, I went on the internet to check up on the pattern. The pattern in the book was wrong, as were others.

The book is a great idea, but it has three patterns, for sure that are incorrect. To me, that is too many.

Needless to say, I am going to see if I can get my money refunded for this purchase.

If you dont know how to knit, then dont get this book. I have a large mule! Dont be fooled with the pretty colors and the neat tabbed pages. My girlfriend tried to learn how to knit by following this book (and after a one day class)and after about a half hour to an hour of trying, she still failed. I wish I could get in touch with Ms Jenkins to get my money back directly from her. Horrible!
