This book is organized for the beginning knitter, it isn't formatted that I can read the fun list of tricks easily without reading all about casting on and how to make a knit stitch. That said, I already adore this author because she bothers to explain garter stitch vs stockinette vs reverse stockinette right on page 52. I have yet to read any other knitting book that explains it so clearly, purls are the other side of knits, and you can't separate them. Garter is alternating rows of smooth knit More...

A lot of this was stuff I already knew, since I'm not necessarily a novice knitter, but I did learn a new cast on method and her explanation of how to block was one of the clearer ones I've received. I highly recommend this for new knitters.

Nice book with lots of tips. Not a lot new here for me; however, her tip about knitting each swatch with a row that includes *K2TOG, YO* to match the needle-size number is genius.
