Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Knitting Handbook: An Instructional Guide to Knitting (Spiral-bound)
I really liked this knitting guide book. It has clear pictures and is well written. I also like the spiral binding, which makes it easy to use. I found the format useful for understanding the instructions.
I would recommend it to anyone who would like to learn to knit or already does. Sheila : )

Good Guide,

This review is from: Knitting Handbook: An Instructional Guide to Knitting (Spiral-bound)
I recently purchased the Knitting Handbook during a search for knitting patterns. I do not like charted designs. However, you can pretty much look at the patterns and visually determine how they are knit. I did not pay much attention to the patterns in the back, altho I did note that the largest size is 42, as noted by another reviewer. The actual instructions for knitting, along with helpful hints, are basic and actually brief, but enlightening, enticing me to read them. I would recommend this as a basic book to have in anyone's library, and hopefully the public library as well.
