Customer Reviews

Big things come in small packages!

I love this little book! It's the perfect size and weight for the knitting bag. PLUS, it is just jam-packed with knitting info, all in color photos, and all very clearly written. I learned to knit from Sharon Turner's other Visually book, and I'm so happy to have this lightweight handy book to toss in my carry-out knitting bag. As with her other knitting books, the instructions and the photos that go with them are written and arranged such that even the most inexperienced beginner can understand what to do. On top of containing everything you need to know on the go (plus a lot more), this pocket-size book also contains tons of fun tips that you would never have thought of yourself. A++++ keep the knitting books coming!

Excellent

This is a perfect resource for your knitting bag. It is small and portable. The pictures and print are large and clear. The instructions are step by step without missing anything that beginners would not know. I have the Knitter's companion (old version) and I this this is better.

Definitely worth owning!

If you have one knitting book on your shelf it should be this one. The instructions are so clear that it is a great book for beginners, as well as an excellent reference for more experienced knitters. The author is very thorough, and the step-by-step text and photos will get you knitting no matter what your learning style. I would highly recommend this book!

Perfect!

I love the size of this new book! I go away frequently and like to take my knitting with me but have found all the other books, good as they are, too big to take anywhere conveniently. Finally there's a book which answers all my questions in an easy to use format with a wonderfully compact size. This is one of the clearest instruction books on the market. Bravo, Sharon Turner!!

KNITTING GOLD..............

I'm a fairly new knitter - only 2 years but addicted. I bought this book because I wanted practical advice all in one place. The book looked good - I soon discovered it was GREAT. My copy is very used by now - there isn't a project I've done where I haven't referred to this book and found excellent clear instruction and advice. I love it - and you will too, I promise!
