Excellent Reference for small items. Have made many items from this book with easy to follow instructions. ( )

This is probably my favorite knitting book. It's definitely my desert island knitting book. Not only are there a lot of wonderful projects in here, the techniques cover nearly aspect of knitting I've ever needed to know--and then some.

The projects are all small--hats, gloves, and socks, with a few modest-sized scarves. The skill level ranges from the super-easy to the challenging, and the styles from whimsical to elegant to stunning. ( )
