Summary: Left me wanting more...
Comment: I am relatively new to knitting, so I took the Vogue Knitting (1989) book out of the library and have been lugging it around for weeks. I got an Amazon.com gift certificate as a gift and wanted to use it to purchase knitting books.
I purchased this book thinking it would be an adequate substitute for the larger Vogue Knitting (and easier to carry around). I was hoping that it would at least have all of the stitch patterns of the larger book, plus whatever I would need as my skills improved.
I was wrong. It has basic stitches, but none of the cool stitches I would like to experiment with. It reads in the reviews to be something of a reference, but it seems as if the editors couldn't make up their minds who the target knitters are supposed to be. In my opinion, it falls short as THE book for a beginner and it has things in it a more advanced (even intermediate) knitter doesn't need. It isn't a bad book, just not right for me
Needless to say, I sent it back. Once my credit comes through, I'm ordering Vogue Knitting.

Summary: Great reference book
Comment: Great book to take along with you, just wish the pics were a bit brighter or larger and too bad it doesn't come with a needle gauge in the back like the "Knitters Reference Book", that would complete it.

Summary: Don't leave home without it
Comment: How many times have you packed yarn for a long trip, arming yourself against certain inescapable pulls of jaw-gaping boredom or intense family squabbling that requires hours of remedial knitting therapy? I know that I spend more time packing yarn for a trip than I do clothing! Then the problem; what to knit? Another pair of socks? A sweater? What if you want to finish a languishing project?
I can't carry a knitting encyclopedia or my knitting library with me. I have books, each of which has SOME of the techniques, but I found that this book is handy to tuck into my knitting carry-along. It's great to have all kinds of finishing techniques, increases, decreases, and especially needle size conversions and how to fix those unfortunate errors. Spiral-bound is great--stays open in the car or on a table.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
