review:
Loved the color pictures in this one, and IIRC this had the diagram that finally got me purling successfully. Made one pattern: the “Boyfriend Scarf”, which took me a month (off and on) and which C LOVES. Would probably be my top pick of a knitting book so far.

review:
Slightly more helpful in getting me going with knitting; in particular, picked up good technique for holding yarn while working. Only made one pattern, and that was a basic ribbed scarf. Wouldn’t mind trying some other things if I pick up my own copy.
