Title: If you already have a portable knitting reference...
Review: then you don't need this one. I was disappointed when I browsed this at the local bookstore. Pictures are adequate but not as well done as in Vogue Knitting, Vogue Knitting Quick Reference, or Knitting for Dummies. The information is very basic and just about all of it can be found elsewhere and with better detail. For example, the section on blocking consisted of one sentence, maybe two. Given the variety of methods of blocking and the reasons for each, this should have been 1/2 a page at least. There are much better portable reference sources available.The only positive thing I can really say about this book is that the binding (covered spiral) and size are good for just popping in your knitting bag. Despite the more durable cover, seriously consider VKQR or The Knitters Companion by Interweave over this book.
