Summary: Nothing But Praise--A Must Have (put next to your EZ's!)
Comment: As a patternless person, I often found myself holding up a piece of a garment going, "What in the heck is that?" Sleeves often became seamed hoods, thumbs started resembling arm openings, and socks, well, we all know about socks. About the fourth guess on a cast on, I'd get fed up and have to eat something chocolate to cope. Not pretty. This wonderfully designed lie-flat book elminated that problem for me. For example, I have been knitting a home-from-the-hospital ensemble for my soon-to-be born son. Every baby pattern you find is practicially designed for 0-3 months, but any and all of these would be too large for my needs. Budd's book made it easy. You simply go from line to line in each chart for what you need. This is a resounding recommendation from someone who is barely literate when it comes to pattenrns.
Incidentally, this was the only knitting book I purchased this past year--it made average pattern books seem a little useless, considering the size and variation of my stash.
I suggest an excellent pairing for this book would be Nicky Epstein's Knitted Embellishments. Between the two, you can come up with some really impressive designs. It's also a great way to make use of your stash, all those little bits and pieces you're dying to use but can't find the right spot for!
(And remember, petting your stash counts as using it!)

Summary: Must have!!
Comment: I love this book. You can make anyone a hat, gloves, socks, sweater, whatever with any kind of yarn and, with a little imagination, any kind of design!! It also has a section in the back where you can write notes and a little pocket so you can keep swatches and a little elastic to hold everything together. VERY HANDY BOOK!!

Summary: Good Basic Patterns
Comment: This is a good reference book for basic patterns. There are variations and that makes it nice to have simple knits without all the complicated patterns.
