    <body><![CDATA[This book really cuts to the chase, avoiding all of the unworthily confusing knitting jargon and ridiculously unnecessary acronyms that have been invented by people with way too much time on their hands.  In Q &amp; A format, it answers questions like &quot;I just picked up my knitting after not touching it for a year and am trying to determine where the hell I was.  How do I figure it out without shooting myself in the eye?&quot; with answers such as &quot;Just make sure you're holding it so that the yarn is on the left needle.&quot; instead of &quot;KTOG PTOG YO blah blah&quot;, which is what most other books would advise.  <br/><br/>My mom has purchased a copy of this book for everyone she knows who's ever touched a piece of yarn this side o' the Mississipp'.  She swears by it.]]></body>
