I really love the 365 knitting stitches a year calendar. First of all, it perpetual, so I don't have a need to purchase a new calendar every year. It's very sturdy and made of quality materials. The main reason I purchased the calendar, though, was so that I would have an opportunity to try a different knitting pattern every day of the year. Quite a challenge for a novice knitter. So everyday, I do a swatch of that day's stitch. I merely wanted an opportunity to learn a new stitch without having to make a huge knitted item, and this calendar fit the bill. Where else can I get 365 different stitch patterns for one low price? BTW, the retail price printed on the back of my calendar is $19.95---hopefully, you can get one on ebay for less. I took the calendar to my knitting circle. It was a big hit, and several of the ladies are now shopping for their own.Read full review
This is a great resource if you are a knitter. If you want to design a scarf, shawl or other garment, you can browse through this calendar to find an appropriate pattern. I wouldn't say it is the only knitting pattern book you will ever need, but it does provide 365 patterns in lace, cable, knit and purl and ribbing variations.

I bought this for myself just before the holidays and love, Love, LOVE it!!! I bought it for some fresh patterns and ideas - and it has so many to choose from for any type of yarn or project I have in mind. It is also the perfect size to slip in a knitting bag for on-the-go knitting, and the way it stands up is excellent for ease in following the pattern while working. Just for fun, when I complete a piece using one of the patterns I write in the bottom corner the date/type and color yarn/sz ndls used. Like a knitting memoir to look back at! I highly recommend for loads of enjoyment! I also recommend this seller as a great person to work with. :-) Ellen
I love this book. My girlfriend had it and I really wanted it but didn't want to buy it new. I am so glad I could get it on ebay. It literally has 365 different stitches which can be easily followed even for a beginner knitter like me. Simple, easy book to follow.
Oh, what a reference source this is!! Invaluable to new and expert knitters alike. Each stitch states the required number of multiples, so can be made to any size you like. A great way to add some zip and focal points to an otherwise plain item...a must have, and reasonably priced....Also, looks good on the desk or sewing machine cabinet out in plain sight. Definitely a "go to" reference item. Highly recommended.
