Summary: Great and fun for a new knitter!
Comment: WONDERFUL WONDERFUL WONDERFUL!! As someone who had never so much as knit one stitch, I was wary about teaching myself from a book. But I purchased this a month ago, and am LOVING IT! The book is a fun read - I laughed out loud a few times. What I really like about this book, is that she gives you actual items you can make with what you know 'so far'. So, after learning just to cast on, knit, change colours, bind off, I am now making a funky scarf. And after a couple more chapters, there's another project, etc. I purchased Knitting for Dummies at the same time, and while I do refer to that at times (much more detailed I think), I find it to be very boring. I only look at it if I'm stumped from the S n' B book, which happens very rarely.
The patterns are sooo cool, I can't wait to advance to making the items featured. Today a scarf, tomorrow a cell phone cozy!! The history of knitting, how to correct errors, great photos, and how to form your own Stitch n' Bitch group are just a few more reasons why this book rocks. I'd definitely recommend it for a newbie like me, and anyone who is interested in learning knitting the fun way!

Summary: GREAT book!
Comment: I've never taken the time to write a review of a book but I'm so thrilled with this one I just couldn't keep quiet. I was not intending to buy a knitting book on a recent fiber stash-enrichment expedition but once I saw the title I had to pick up the book and leaf through it and I was instantly hooked (?or perhaps 'needled'!). I have to admit I haven't tried anything from it requiring a precise gauge yet but I thoroughly enjoy the instuctions and information and, as others have stated, hip--and tongue-in-cheek--approach! Sure there's some patterns I won't try, but there's lots I'm itching to get started on. The instructions I've followed so far have been quite complete--plus the illustrations are excellent. I've had to struggle with writing a few instructions myself and can *really* appreciate how the steps were made so concise and descriptive. Plus you opened my eyes to a whole new world of S'nB groups. Thank you Debbie! (now, could you do a crochet book too that's equally as cool?)

Summary: Wonderful!
Comment: This book is AMAZING. It is the best knitting book I own, by far. I have probably read it cover-to-cover at least 5 times. The patterns cover a wide scope, from sweaters to bags to baby items to cute little things that would make great quick gifts. I already knew the very basics (knit, purl, cast on, bind off) before I got this book, but, judging from the clear way it explains everything else, I think it would be a good resource for the absolute beginning. It taught me decreasing, increasing, intarsia, knitting in the round, and finishing techniques. It also has a good bit of interesting knitting history in it, and helpful sections about reading patterns, etc. I highly recommend this to all, whether they want to learn to knit, or already know and want to expand their knowledge and pattern repetoire.
