We're in the final chapter of our book review series, and I hope you have enjoyed these past weeks (I know I have)! This last one is going to be the A to Z of knitting. Let's get started!
I know what you're thinking; "I thought you already did this one!". That was the crochet version. Right here is the one for knitters!
1) Is it beginner-friendly?
Yes (almost too beginner-friendly...maybe it's a trap)! It has over 1000 photos (just like the crochet version), and very clear instructions. I would recommend this book to anyone who has absolutely no knitting experience it's that good!
2) I'm a pretty advanced knitter. Can I learn anything new from this book?
Depending on how advanced you are, you might. I purchase this book with high hopes of learning new techniques in knitting. Unfortunately, I was a bit disappointed. The book says it is for "the beginner to the advanced knitter", but I don't think that's entirely true. It has your basic knitting instructions, but nothing too challenging. For the lace knitting section, all it has was how to do yarn overs, and decreasing, things that were already mentioned earlier in the book. So if you are an advanced knitter, I don't think that there is a large array of things you can learn.
3) What are the pros and cons of this book?
Pros:
1) Has lots of easy-to-understand beginner-friendly instructions.
2) This book has a chapter or two on the history of knitting, which I found very interesting.
3) Has information on gauge, what size needles to use for different weights of yarn, and lots of other things.
Cons:
1) Doesn't have any mini patterns that beginners can try out their new techniques on.

And that ends our book review. I hope you enjoyed it!
P.S. I think it's safe to say that my power isn't going to go out, so the blogging will continue :)
