Learn to Knit - its not just for Grannies!

by Helen Crapnell

Knitting is back in fashion - Madonna, Julia Roberts and Sarah Jessica Parker number among the many celebrities who have taken it up. Knitting was once a past time associated with Grandmothers and elderly neighbours, but now, those who would have dismissed it as an old ladies hobby cannot resist the charm of clacking needles of an evening.

My book will guide you through the initial stages of learning to knit, types of needles, yarn and stitch basics, the importance of blocking, hints and tips plus loads more useful information.

There are a couple of patterns to get you going and links to websites with 1,000 of free patterns for you to download and explore your new talent.

Knitting is a great hobby, relaxing and therapeutic plus with the added bonus for me that in the evening it keeps me out of the fridge!

By the end of this book you will be ready to knit your first project, and an easy scarf pattern is included to start you off.

I'm not going to give this a rating as because I have been knitting for a couple of years much of the info is for beginners. I'm not saying I'm an expert but as I can do basic knitting it wasn't relevant. However I did read the whole book and found it easily understandable and follow-able, with good diagrams. It didn't overload with information, and was quite short. I would recommend this for a beginner.

I'm going to change my mind and rate it 4 stars, having written the review!
