Book Reviews of Knitting For Dummies (For Dummies (Sports & Hobbies))
Book Review: Even seasoned knitters can use this book!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought 2 copies of this book, one for me and one for my daughter, who is a neophyte knitter. I have been knitting for years, but do not consider myself to be advanced. This book has information for every level of experience and clear cut explanations. I don't expect to do intarsia or anything of that complexity any time soon, but at least now I understand the process. Excellent book for all.
