Enjoyable reading, but more of an information source than a knitting reference. For example: it explains what a slip stitch is, and has photos of swatches knitted in slip stitch patterns, but doesn't give the actual stitch instructions.
But I still enjoyed reading many of the entries, especially the historical ones.

Brief entries on knitting terms and topics, possibly a little too brief to be helpful to anybody but the most beginning knitters.
