But what if your book is the first book a non knitter picks up and is enticed to try with? Not sure what the right way to go is, to be honest. <BR/><BR/>It has just dawned on me that I still do not own your first two books, how is this possible? I have knit several items from them. I must do something about this asap!Mimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18164566973850574737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35689847.post-6670482124028468702009-03-12T10:57:00.000-05:002009-03-12T10:57:00.000-05:00I skip the instructions too and only look at it if...I skip the instructions too and only look at it if there's something unusual.

My mind just went blank.I went to your book because I think you're the most clear in your writing.<BR/><BR/>As to the basic knitting and purling. No, that's pretty basic. I would refer people to your web site for your tutorials. I think those are fantastic. Those videos are really worth a thousand instructions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35689847.post-26619146006634866812009-03-11T15:59:00.000-05:002009-03-11T15:59:00.000-05:00Hello !

Your books are always the first place I go if I need a refresher on anything. Your instruction pages are the best I've seen and the illustrations are very clear. I love, love, love them! But perhaps in your third book you can leave some of that behind. Can't wait for your new book!The Andersonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08492077978872837533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35689847.post-46309509334309572232009-03-11T12:20:00.000-05:002009-03-11T12:20:00.000-05:00Kargas,I got the bag at the Knitting Tree in Madis...Kargas,<BR/>I got the bag at the Knitting Tree in Madison.

I can't tell you how irritated I get to see the "how to make a knit stitch" over and over again in books that I have purchased for the patterns.
