Title: Great for teaching yourself to knit
Product review: I read reviews of TONS of books on learning to knit before Christmas last year. This one was highly recommended so I asked for it for Christmas. Using this book and The Complete Beginner's Guide to Knitting video I taught myself to knit quite quickly. I read a good portion of this book on the way home from celebrating Christmas at my parents house and promplty started my first project. While working on the project I watched the video, which was helpful for demonstrating techniques for changing colors and how to prevent the added stitch when switching between knit and purl stitches. But really I think this book is how I learned to knit. I've been knitting for less than a year and have already make scarves, hats, socks, afgans, and I'm not afraid to try more complicated patterns I find. This book can truly teach you how to knit. And the authors humor keeps it from being a dry read.
