Get Started: Knitting

Get Started: Knitting by Susie Johns
Wanted to review this book because I am an avid charity knitter and always looking for new patterns and ideas.
What a treasure this book is from the very beginning: starts out with the material you will need and all the current up to date needles and yarn weights.
Next is how to start with the yarn and various methods are shown with pictures-very easy to understand. Then the basic knit stitch and from there the world is yours to explore.
The author keeps things simple but moves along to higher levels of accomplishments and the patterns are easy to follow along.
Especially liked the glossary of knitting stitches and how they are done. Most are only a 4 row repeat and the designs can be used in multiple show more items to knit.
Best part of this book to me is the textured stitches and how they are done using a chart, and written out in full directions row by row.
This reference books should be in your knitting library.

I received this book from Edelweiss by Penguin Group (USA) Inc.. in exchange for my honest review. show less
