Reviews of A Passion for Knitting : Step-by-Step Illustrated Techniques, Easy Contemporary Patterns, and Essential Resources for Becoming Part of the World of Knitting
This book is great for newbies to knitting as well as seasoned knitters. The presentations are over a wide range of topics and are well written and enjoyable. I have been knitting for years and found several tips that were new to me. I ordered several copies to be sent to friends who are wishing to learn knitting skills and have recommended it to skilled knitters, for their sheer enjoyment.
Review #2
Good for English knitters
I am a beginning knitter and was looking for a good how to book with clear illustrations. This book is great if you knit in the english manner. I knit continental which this book does not address. I gave it to a friend who knits english and she loves it so that is why I gave it four stars. It was however no use to me. I wish this author would do this book for continental knitters.
Review #3
Pretty Good
I liked this book fairly well. It had several patterns in it that I enjoyed using. However, the only patterns in it that I could use to knit for the men in my family were in the charity knit section--one hat, one scarf. I was really disappointed on that point.
