Hollywood Knits Style: With 30 Original Suss Designs 1 review Suss Cousins, Deborah Jaffe
Stewart, Tabori & Chang, 2007
Decided Lack of Glamour
I love knitting books for all sorts of reasons, and none of them is fulfilled by this one. There are a couple of pretty pictures, but I would never wear what's on display. But the problem isn't ugly or weird patterns, but boring ones. It's the usual array of basic stuff with predictable, ...

Workman Publishing Company, 2004
This one is for someone a little past beginner...
For whatever reason, when I bought this book online it was only three bucks. So I thought there was no way I could pass it up. I'm glad I bought it because it taught me how to tweak a pattern in order to use any type of yarn I want. I know I should have been able to figure out how to do this ...

Holiday Knits: 25 Great Gifts from Stockings to Sweaters 10 reviews Allison Isaacs, Sara Lucas
Chronicle Books, 2005
Great book, but MANY of the patterns are available in magazines!
+ Some nice patterns + Holiday knitting fun
Right after I purchased this book, I started receiving the '06 holiday issues of all the knitting magazines I subscribe to. I was a little disappointed to see so many of the patterns re-printed (with the exact same photos so they were a easy to spot) in this season's magazines. I kind of feel ...

No one book could possible contain every set of crochet stitches, although I believe this one does a fair job of representing the spectrum. Color photographs ...
