Book Reviews of Teach Yourself Visually Knitting (Teach Yourself Visually)
Book Review: Don't Miss This Fantastic Knitting Instruction Book
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this book! The pictures and text actually show in detail how to master all the basics of knitting. It is an excellent reference for both beginners and experienced knitters. Stitches are shown beside the basic knit and purl. I made a scarf in a few days from a pattern in the book. Now my husband wants a scarf too! There is a glossary of terms and explanations of abbreviations. Forget how to cast on - there are several methods to illustrate how to do it - English and Continental methods are illustrated. For those of us who are more graphic learners, this is the book for you. The photographs are outstanding - not just line drawings as some books use. If I could recommend just one basic knitting book, this one would be it. Book Review: A great book for beginners
Summary: 5 Stars
The book is nicely outlined and the pictures are great. It shows both english and continental style. In a matter of no time I was already knitting the more complicated stitches. I also like how it has beginner to intermediate projects. I can see myself always using this book for the variety of stitches patterns it has and as an overall reference. After seeing this book I want to buy the Teach Yourself Visually Crocheting. Book Review: The "Go-To" book for beginner knitters
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been a fan of Teach Yourself Visually books for learning computer programs for years. As an beginner-intermediate level knitter, I grabbed this book the minute I saw it, and it has been an invaluable resource. The full-color photography really helps in showing techniques. I found it most useful in learning how to do the kitchener stitch when making socks. It was also helpful in learning the various increases and decreases, picking up stitches, and showing the best seaming methods for particular edges. This could be the only book any beginner knitter might need, and a great addition to any knitter's library.Book Review: GREAT item for beginners
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great book for the basics, in clear, concise pictures. I highly recommend it, along with the any of the Vogue knitting books. Their instructions are always good.
Happy Knitting! Blessings!

Teach Yourself Visually Knitting (Teach Yourself Visually)
I purchased this book for my granddaughter as she wanted to learn how to knit and I had forgotten a lot of what I had learned when I was a kid. This book is very knowledgeable and written in plain English so it is easy to follow the instructions. The book was sold as used but was in perfect condition and at a good price. I have had a great experience with ordering from here before and will do so in the future.
