Book Reviews of The Complete Idiot's Guide to Knitting and Crocheting Illustrated, 3rd Edition (Complete Idiot's Guide to)
Book Review: A Start But Not Beginning
Summary: 2 Stars
This book does attempt to provide detail information for beginners (I being one of them). It has great information on the basics such as types of yarns, gauges, understanding of the types of stitches, and so on. However,the pictures that accompany some of the stitches aren't always visually clear to understand because they are in two different colors (red and blue). I had hoped to find full color instructions but was sadly disappointed. The publishers should have spent the money for colored pictures in the instructions not the patterns.
