Book Reviews of Knitting Pretty
Book Review: Quite a few projects I would and could actually do!
Summary: 4 Stars
Unlike so many knitting books, I found at least 6 projects here that I could do and WOULD do! I loved the idea of the snake scarf, the headband and the tube top. They were simple but something that someone would actually like to receive as a present. The patterns were quite clear.
A few things I didn't like---there were not pictures of every project. I really find it hard sometimes to think what a knit project will look like without a picture. Also, for a book that mainly features projects for beginners, there were WAY too many patterns that used double pointed needles. I have been teaching myself knitting for the past few years, and the one area I find impossible to master is using DPN. This might be just me, but I've heard others say the same thing. I don't think it's the kind of technique to use that much in book for early stage knitters!
Summary of Knitting Pretty

Perfect for the beginner, the user-friendly basics section features step-by-step illustrations and instructions for everything the knitter on the make needs to know.
