Title: How to Knit
Author: Tina Barrett
Publisher: GMC Books
ISBN: 9781784942939
Carol’s Thoughts: I had always wanted to learn to knit, but never had the time to dedicate to learning. Now that I’m fully retired, I have a lot of spare time on my hands and I’m ready to learn.
The author did a great job of using step-by-step diagrams to teach you the basic knitting stitches. It’s all laid out in an easy-to-understand and to follow format. The author teaches you about different yarns, yarn weight, supplies & tools that you need and so forth.
Once you’ve learned some of the basic stitches you’re ready to move onto some of the products in the book. The projects include: pillow covers, tablet covers, placemats, fingerless gloves, cushion covers, coasters and more. All of the projects include easy step-by-step instructions and color photos.
As soon as I’m done mastering the crochet book that I featured earlier this week, I’ll be moving onto knitting. I’m looking forward to getting started soon! To keep tools neat and easy to find, I’m adding a compact leather knitting needle organizer to my supplies.

I like the Year Around Slow Cooking Cookbook.
I can do some simple crochet, but I’ve always wanted to learn to knit. A few years ago I bought myself some knitting needles but never got around to doing anything with them. This book could be just the ticket to get me started!
Anyway, another book I’d like to have from Taunton is Fine Cooking in Season.
I would like the Everyday Roses garden book.
I would like the book ScrapTherapy Cut The Scraps!. I want to know about sewing quilts.
