Title: Not very good for beginning knitting students
Review: This book is more a collection of essays and the opinions of a knitter from a long time age. I read her instructions on how to fix a dropped stitch and forget it -she is not very clear about how to do this. Stitch and Bitch by Debbie Stoller is a great book for beginning knitters. I've owned Knitting w/o tears for over 10 years and I find it boring. It certainly lacks illustrations. Yes, she gives you ideas for patterns but doesn't teach you how to do things. Of course, she has her devotees. I for one, found this book to be useless. It is very dated. This book might be great for super advanced knitters who are of her generation.
