Book Reviews of Teach Yourself Visually Knitting (Teach Yourself Visually)
Book Review: A great resource
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the book that I always have at hand when I'm working on a knitting project: It has provided answers --with pictures-- to every dilemma that I've ever had. It's incredibly handy, with great photos and a comprehensive index. I didn't use it to teach myself knitting from scratch, but I have used it to teach myself some new and useful techniques. For me (a somewhat experienced knitter) it's an indispensable resource.
