Customer Reviews

AWwwwwwesomeee!

I'm a novice knitter and artsy. I cannot, cannot cannot follow a pattern in the books! This book is written for people like me. It's step by step with lots of illustrations. There are no pictures, but the illustrations suffice. It doesn't try to be too hip and doesn't seem to be treating me like an expert. There are things I can progress to but for now, it stays with me in the knitting bag. I looked at all the books and checked this from the library first. I found it was best for me! Love that it's spiral bound!! Happy knitting! Highly recommend it!

Very handy!

I really like this book. It's exactly what I thought it would be like. Alot of things I already knew and some I didn't. But I wanted it to throw in my knitting bag and be there when I'm having a brain freeze and need some extra help. I also love Vickie's sense of humor. I think it's similar to mine so I can really relate to it! I recommend it to any knitter.

Indispensable Book for Knitters of (Almost) All Skill Levels!

This book has earned a spot on my knitting table. I keep it next to me while I work so I can remind myself of certain stitches I haven't used in a while, or for advice about yarn. I love it. If you're an expert knitter who has been knitting for years and years, you might not be as excited by this book as I am, but most of us need a little reminder now and then. If you feel the same way, get this book!

Great little book - Knit Aid

Vickie's book is a great resource for either the experienced knitter or a beginner. It's small so it fits in your beach bag or right along side your favorite knitting chair. Her lively style makes you want to grab your needles and try something new. A great purchase and the price is right!

Great little resource book!
