Comments From Other Readers "I taught myself to crochet when I was 7 and that's been my niche ever since. I was looking for a challenge and a co-worker suggested that knitting might be a great cross over. I found it very easy to transition over to. The patterns in this book were fantastic! I loved the little ducky! I think the pictures were a huge help as well. I might just have to put my hook away for a little while!" - Eve (Florida, US) "I'm a guy. Knitting to me has been for little old ladies. I recently had an accident though and experienced some head trauma. As a result, I've had difficulty with some of my motor functions. My physical therapist actually suggested knitting. I can't knock it until I try to so I went with my sister who knits and picked out some stuff. My first project was a beanie. I think the thing that worked for me was that if I messed up I could just pull it out and start over. After a few weeks of knitting for an hour or more a day, my therapist noted positive changes. This book was a big part of that. I found it easy to follow, even for someone that never touched a knitting needle before." - Bryan (Colorado, US) Tags: easy knitting, east patterns, knitting, knit, yarn, therapy, blanket, shawls, advanced knitting, crocheting, crochet patterns, knitting, knitting for beginners, cross-stitching, manly knits, knitting in the round, knit an infinity scarf, step by step, with pictures, knitting answer book, knitting for dummies, crochet techniques, crochet stitches, one day knitting, one day crochet, one day afghan, knitting stitches
