One skein wonders
I am enjoying the book. It is a great way to use up all those left over skeins. So far I have made the shrug-- 2 of them in fact. They knit up very quickly. I have made the slippers-- okay but not my favorite. I am currently making the blanket buddy-- how cute. I still have plenty of left overs to keep knitting so I intend to make many, many more objects. Mostly they are quick so for anyone who ...

Thorough, informative book!!! Easy read!
I grew up on a farm with my mother having a vegetable garden, so growing plants is not a totally foriegn concept to me, but non-the-less, it's been a while since I've "hoed a row." I read the reviews of several books, including this one, and felt confident I was getting a good "go to" book with most everything I would need to start my garden - I was so pleased to be right! I live in the MN, ...

Great Guide for Knitters
I find this little "pocket" guide very helpful. I have not been able to knit much, and when I do I sometimes forget a certain technique. I just flip through this book and pick up the skill in no time. I learned how to knit in the round from this book, and I find it's instruction easy to understand.

Exactly as Advertised
Never mind the patterns; the key is learning the technique, which this book conveys admirably. Any pattern can be adapted for knitting this way. If you can knit the Magic Loop way you can knit this way as well. "Hefty" cost of a 40" circular needle is 11$ tops; I use this for all my socks. Some people whine needlessly about the cost of buying anything new. Buy one needle and you will use it ...

Storey Publishing, LLC, 2006

Aside from the Misleading Word "Plans," a Great Little Book!
We just received our copy of Judy Pangman's book. I was hesitant about ordering it after reading the reviews, but because there were some good ones in the mix I figured I'd take a chance. While I agree that it lacks the formal plans that the title seems to promise, it does include photos, sketches and dimensions, and offers a lot of interesting ideas, often with diagrams, for a variety of ...

Amazing book - substantial
This book is beautifully illustrated on substantial paper stock. The graphics are very well done. The book covers practicalities like proper posture while felt-making and watching out for creepy-crawlies in your wool. The techniques range from simple cord making to creating yardage for upholstery projects to making your own fedora. Up until now, the only felting I've done was the accidental ...

Storey Publishing, LLC, 1999

Almost perfect
This book tells you everything about growing grapes and producing fine wine. It even deals with the choice of grape-varieties suited for your climate. It is almost perfect. I think many Europeans will read this book, and it would have been perfect if it included the Meditteranean countries in the tables of climate-zones and selection of suitable varieties. It is very difficult to find this ...

Storey Publishing, LLC, 1998

Creating the best garden ever starts at the bottom
Composting, in case you aren't terribly familiar with it yet, is simply the practice of allowing waste matter to rot and decompose until it's fit to be tilled right into the soil. However, while the basic concept is as old as mother nature and often very easy to execute, it also helps to know more about it. What materials should you compost, and which should you avoid? Do you have to worry about ...

Wonderful!
I received this book for Christmas and can't say enough good things about it. The information is extensive but very well organized. There are sections on the importance of maintaining healthy lifestyle habits, how to figure out your skin type and what your body care needs are, a list of ingredients explaining origins and uses, and then the recipes. There are so many recipes, no matter your skin ...

One of the Best!
I just got this book a few weeks ago, and I LOVE it! I live in a household of two, and am not a Costco-type shopper when it comes to meats, so everything I have made from this book, I have just halved the recipes to fit my smaller-packages-of-meat shopping patterns. No biggie. I still have three plus meals out of each type of meat I buy for the two of us. My husband absolutely raved about the ...
