I was really pleased when I received this book. There's a lot to take in but it will be worth it. It tells you about the type of equipment and yarn to use for your project. How to cast on and read knitting patterns, types of stitches, dropping stitches, casting off and so much more. It's beginners to more advanced knitting so it covers a lot. Would recommend and it's a good price as well.

This book was the best book I have read on learning how to knit. Easy to follow, detailed instructions and brilliant illustrations. Covers everything you ever need to know on how to start knitting and then how to progress further with different stitches and methods. Advice for advanced knitters so something for everyone. I've always wanted to do circular knitting but never confident enough but this book made it possible and I'm now on my first project of a hat. The book also helps you to fix mistakes which is great because I usually just pull out and start again. Really recommend.
