A must have knitting resource
After being frustrated with a little knitting booklet I purchased at a craft shop I ordered this book. I am so glad I did, Teach Yourself Visually Knitting has been instrumental in helping me learn to knit. The pictures are easy to see and the descriptions make sense. This book will remain as a main source in my knitting library and I recommend it to all beginning knitters. I've moved onto intermediate knitting projects now (in large part due to how well this book explains the stitches), but whenever I see a new stitch in a pattern I'm using I turn to this book first for explanation. Most of the time it will have the stitch and I'll be able to easily understand how to do it. I don't think I could have improved as much as I have in a little less than a year without this book.

Great Resource!!
I just about threw my knitting needles out the window until I discovered this book. It's filled with very clear and concise instructions. The best part of this book is the clear, close-up pictures. It's not one of those knitting instruction books with the half sketched illustrations of hands with knitting needles. It actually shows you every step and also includes common problems and the solutions. I highly recommend this to be in any knitters library.

Teach your self visually knitting
To tell you the truth I was very disapointed. I tried to follow the instructions given and I was not able to start knitting. In the end, I had to find someone to teach me to start knitting.
So it might be useless book.

Taught me how to knit!
I did not have the luxury of anyone teaching me how to knit, so I turned to this book. After checking out a huge stack of knitting books from my library, this one was the clearest so I bought it from Amazon. It taught me everything I need to know about beginning to knit, and well over a year later it's still my best reference book when I come to a problem I haven't encountered yet. The pictures are incredibly helpful, as are the written descriptions. Some of the projects in the back seem a little awkward-looking, but they're a great springboard for other ideas and color combinations. This is a fantastic first book for knitters, and also for anyone who would like a visual walk-through of stitches and solutions to knitting problems.

great book for beginners!
I was given this book when I started knitting and I just bought a copy for my sister in - law. the pictures and instructions are clear and easy to follow.
