Title: it taught me...
Review: how to knit in 10 minutes. I used to know how to knit when I was a little girl, then I forgot. My husband taught me to crochet in grad school, and I picked that up quite quickly. I tried teaching myself how to knit again - through using many books (I'm a librarian), and failed.This book worked for me.Some of the reviews by experienced knitters here sound rather elitist.As for the lack of the gauge - is this really important for knitting a scarf? She does mention gauge, just not for every pattern.And the paperweight cover? it's good practice. The beer cozy is a humorous touch to what some consider an old woman's hobby. Take it from one who deals with sterotypes on a daily basis - I know it isn't and you know it isn't, so appreciate the creative nature of this book.If you consider knitting a science and follow recipes with no alteration, skip this book. If you consider knitting an art and are not afraid to be creative once in a while, check this book out.
