In friendly prose, the author assumes nothing from the reader and explains everything you need to know to get started in knitting., such as tools, winding a skein, cool ways to keep track of needles, and where to buy yarn and what kinds. Finger knitting and spool knitting invite children to handle yarn easily. Preceding the many projects are directions for casting on, increasing, knitting in the round, binding off, and other skills of the experienced knitter, but these do not overwhelm the inviting beginning of the book which starts out with how to dye plain yarn bright colors with Kool-Aid packets and vinegar. Directions are clear, concise, and unfussy with drawings and a minimum of "see page x" directions. The book ends with a list of places where you can buy the fancy yarns like 3 Strand Moreno or Rowan Recycled Chunky, which the author has used in her projects. But she also specifies type, so that the knitter knows that for a specific project, any "bulky" or "worsted" weight will do.Read full review
Love how much information it has and the simplicity of the information. Great for kids as well as adult beginner knitters. Bought it because I had seen it and it looked like a great book. Also the price was right for this item.
I really like the illustrations in this book. Very easy to follow and understand. The projects too are simple and fun. Actually came across this book in the library and liked it so much that I wanted my own copy to teach my daughter how to knit.
I was excited to get this book but the projects are less than inspiring. They are bulky and could be much more beautiful and creative. I will continue my search for a kids knitting book. The instructions are very good, though.
