Beginner to expert. I found so much info in this book. In fact I loan it to friends who are learning to know. Very hip and fun!

I have recently re-taught myself how to knit and purchased this book as a basic stitch guide. I got so much more than just a how-to book! This book is hip! It is cool! It is a great read and a wonderful stitch guide with projects for every level. From scarves to cable sweaters, this is a must for all those who wish to create with sticks and wool!

My mother recently re-taught me the basic knitting stitch, so I decided to pick up The Knitter's Handbook to guide me through everything else. I'm amazed at how much information is in this book...in a couple of hours I taught myself how to cast on, purl, bind off and do a few other nifty tricks. There's an abundance of info on tools, the history of the craft, tips of the trade and enough funky patterns to get you well on the way to becoming a knitter. A very modern and helpful book for beginning knitters...I would recommend this to anyone looking to learn to knit or for more experienced knitters who are looking for some great tips/patterns.
