One of the best books on how to knit. There are large illustrations of all the techniques and examples. The only thing that I didn't like about it was there wasn't more of it.

A process knitter's delight.
This book is great for learning new techniques and fancy stitches. It starts at the beginning for people who have never knitted before. It is lacking in patterns though, I think it only has a very basic pattern for things like a hat, scarf, mitten, glove, and sweater. I haven't made anything from this book but I have certainly referred to it to learn something for different patterns. Very useful as a refresher if you haven't picked up your needles in a while too!

my good friend, Morning Star
Morning Star says this book is loaded with helpful illustrations and appropriate regardless of your level of expertise! Sounds like the ideal knitting book to have on hand. A good gift to give someone who wants to learn??? She received it as a gift from dh.
Clearly written with dated-but-illustrative photography, this is my go-to guide for whenever I forget how to do double-knitting, think I'm brave enough for entrelac, or feel ashamed of my poor finishing techniques. If only it came packaged with time.

As well as providing information on the essential techniques needed to knit, this encyclopedia covers all other aspects too, including materials and equipment. The book is suitable for beginners but will also prove useful to experienced knitters.
This book is a nice book divided into different sections to help knitters with specific things they might need help with, so it is easy to open to one section and get the help for that item and then put away until next help is required.
This is a great reference for anyone interested in traditional techniques and conventional styles. Clear instructions walk the knitter through repairs, seaming and solving problems that occur in your knitting.
An excellent reference book--complete, non-judgmental, and informative. Good for beginners and experienced knitters.
i am not really sure what to rate this.....but it was informative so yeah! just not enough patterns....
This book is unremarkable but this is the book that taught me to know, so I guess it can't be that bad.
Nice reference book but I didn't really use it - stuck with the Vogue Knitting reference book
