Basic Knit: Full Color Illustrated (Full Color Illustrated)

Rating:
Summary: Does not include basic information
Review: Basic Knit? This book assumes that everyone magically knows how to do every knitting technique imaginable. If you are a beginner, don't waste you're money on this book.

Rating:
Summary: Very basic, very concise
Review: I lost this book and am so happy to find it again. My first knitting instructor said this was the best book for beginners. I learned from it, and I struggle with knitting because I am left handed and right brained. I return to this book again and again. The pictures are so clear and easy to read. It's a slight book with the very basics, which is where any beginners needs to start in order to advance beyond the basics. The instructional pictures are priceless, and much easier to follow than any I've ever seen.

Summary: Best Visual Guide Ever!
Review: I was first introduced to Japanese knitting graphics in the machine knitting publications "Nihon Vogue" and "ZaZa". They were so clear and concise, it didn't matter that I knew no Japanese!
It's great that now handknitters, especially those who are visual learners have their own version. Most of my students ask how they can obtain their own copy.

Summary: something was lost in the translation
Review: This is a good basic book for a new knitter -- or for someone teaching a child or other adult to knit. Experienced knitters might find it a bit simplistic, but it might be a handy addition to a knitting library.
