From Booklist
Knitting is big now, but neophytes who don't have a friend or relative to teach them may be lost at first. Although this entry in the Vanessa-Ann Collection doesn't substitute for personal instruction, its attractiveness and clarity make it an excellent adjunct. Beginning with explanations of the various types of yarns, the text leads off with other important basics, such as how to read a pattern, how to fix mistakes, and how to finish a garment. These are followed by different techniques and simple projects that illustrate them, from very easy kitchen clothes done in the garter stitch to increasingly difficult clothes for toddlers and children that require knitters to change colors, use circular needles, and follow graph patterns. Projects like the moose Christmas stocking aren't all that easy, but the challenge and attractiveness of a number of projects give the book appeal to more experienced knitters as well. Ilene Cooper
