I learned to knit sometime around my 15th birthday. I had a friend teach me during lunch time at school. This opened a door to a whole new world for me, and I found my passion in fiber arts.
I am always looking for new books, projects, and tricks when it comes to knitting (and crocheting too). I saw this book in a catalog and immediately knew that we needed a copy for the library!
With over 300 pages of full color images and well laid out steps to follow along, The Knitting Book has it all! I truly appreciated all of the detail and dedication that went into the creation of this masterpiece. Whether you are a seasoned knitter, or just beginning, The Knitting Book can be useful to anyone who wants to create but doesn't know where to start.
