Knitting Pretty - Simple Instructions For 30 Fabulous Projects Review

  I wanted to teach my friend wife and her daughter how to knit but felt they needed more than just working on projects while I am around.  Got them Knitting Pretty-Simple Instructions and am very glad I did.  I can teach them how to knit, but when they are home alone and run into a problem, they turn to the book for help and it gets them over the terror of possibly ruining a piece. They can see how to fix a dropped stitch, repair a purled stitch in the middle of a knitted row and to make things that they didn't think to ask me about while they were here. They have already gotten a second copy so each can have a copy handy to help or give them ideas about new projects to try. It is well written and doesn't talk down to new knitters.
