Book Reviews of Knitting Without Tears: Basic Techniques and Easy-to-Follow Directions for Garments to Fit All Sizes
Book Review: As Good as It Gets
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a serious knitter, but I am not an advanced knitter. Besides my lack of skill and experience, I am extremely ADD. So, this book is better than I expected, it is insightful and funny. It shows diagrams and written instructions for most practical stitches such as the different kinds of cast on stitches. So, if you are like me and can just knit and purl and have at least average intelligence or less-like me, this book is the answer to all the problems that arise in knitting. Some have said she lectures about gauge, but do you really want to knit a sweater and find it too big or worse, too small? I cannot wait to purchase all her other books, I feel that I will enjoy them as much and look forward to designing my own sweaters, with EZ's guidance. This is the best knitting book that I have seen, and I whole heartedly recommend it. I want to say this to all the people who gave this book less than five stars-patience-it is a virtue and necessary for knitting more than a scarf!
