This book is excellent for someone who either already has limited experience knitting or who has a friend or teacher who can answer really basic (as in "stupid") questions. If you don't fit into either of these categories, there is no way you will "teach yourself visually knitting" just with this book.There are too many gaps. For example, there is the assumption that you instinctively know which is the "right" side and which is the "wrong" side, among other basic bits of knowledge. This may or may not be important, but when the instructions say do this on the right side and that on the wrong side, you'd like to know before proceeding. Being told that the "wrong" side is the side you don't see when you're wearing it is not helpful because, right now, you're not wearing it. Being shown what the right side looks (or should look) like and what the wrong side looks like, would be. (When you are really beginning, the anatomy of a stitch is not exactly obvious. You're just following a sequence of instructions and not sure why or how it all fits in at the end).I also didn't find the "mistakes" section as clear as I would have liked: what is a "dropped" stitch? How did it happen? What can I do to prevent it? At a critical point such as a mistake (where you're close to panicking that you've just blown the whole project!) a few more photographs in the sequence of steps would have made an already tense situation a little less tense.Assuming that you are truly gifted and that you make it to the end of your project and now you now want to get the knitting off the needle and around your neck, you have to either make sense of the description (which is clear but intimidating) or get a magnifying glass to see exactly where the needles go in relation to the yarn in the small and distant illustration. (A macro lens for closeups would have been a nice touch throughout the book, but particularly here).Having said this from a real beginners point of view, the book appears to be an excellent resource for somewhat more confident knitters or knitters who want to expand beyond the basics. It has a section that shows swatches created using many types of stitches that, I'm sure, will come in handy someday. There is a lot of good information that I couldn't find elsewhere (such as get ready to start a new ball of yarn when you're getting close to having 4 times the length of yarn as the width of your project.)I gave it only 3 stars, not because it's a bad book--it's not--but because the content is not consistent with the implied level of the title and I find that misleading. This is not a book that gives you a great sense of security when you're starting out.If you haven't ever picked up a knitting needle, I would suggest Nici McNally's DVD The Complete Beginner's Guide to Knitting (also available at Amazon). That one IS for complete beginners, you see what you have to do and what it should look like when you do it (close up and slowly), and it tells you what mistakes you're likely to make when you're starting and how to prevent or correct them. It doesn't cover too much ground but it does cover what you need to know NOW.
I loved this full version so much that I bought the Quick Tips version for taking along with me when I'm on the go. The full sized book works for so many questions, techniques and definitions. This style just speaks to me in a way that works for the way I'm learning to knit, which is Continental. Not that many books really tell you both the English and Continental versions of the knit and purl stitch, but this book does.This book covers a lot of topics that I'd have to pay a lot of money to learn if I had to pay a person at my local yarn shop to teach me. AND the book is available 24 hours a day whenever I need it. I have several Teach Yourself Visually and Visual Quick Tip books and I'm very happy with them on a wide range of topics. You can't go wrong if you need more than just words sometimes to help you grasp a subject.
I am a beginner knitter and found this book to be helpful with the basics but I found it lacks trouble shooting for some of the basic mistakes.. One resource I am not able to locate is a step-by-step book (with pictures) or more preferably a DVD that demonstrate how to fix the most simplest mistakes a beginner makes. For instance, when a stitch would accidentally slip off while binding off or during a combination of knit & pearl in a project. Here is an opportunity for someone to create a DVD "Beginners Mishap's for Knitters". I am satisfied with this book for it does provide good references to many areas that a knitter will need to know. It explains in depth the differences of needles, yarn, many accessories, right & left handed knitting, providing examples with both. I would recommend it to others.
When I start any new hobby or project, I always research (a lot). I just try to hit the learning curve with avengence rather than flub around for years. I bought Nici McNally's DVD to actually learn to knit as lessons are not available in my area. I was super pleased with it as a way to get going and knit your first few projects. She even includes patterns and some finishing tips and instuction on fixing mistakes. You can get rolling with that alone. But then, I bought several knitting reference books. I think you will find, once you branch out from basics, you are going to come upon terms and instructions that leave you with the deer in the headlights look! Of all the books I purchased, this one is (in my opinon) the best reference. The diagrams are the most clear that I have seen. That's not to say I don't Google YouTube for a short video occasionally to see a technique, but the information is quite good. The book covers a lot of useful material, in addition to being colorful and inspiring. There may be a better book out there for you "go-to encyclopedia" but I haven't seen it (yet?) If I had to just keep one book for my knitting reference, it would definitely be this one. And by the way, one of the wonderful things is the section on modifiable patterns for hats and things. If you can't find the exact pattern you want and are brave, even as a beginner, you will find you can do a bit of your own original design work. I especially loved that section!
I knitted a lot when I was younger but then got busy with other projects and it had been quite awhile before I returned to this pass time. I had forgot a lot over the years and found this volume to be just the perfect refresher, even helped me correct a few of my old bad habits. I think this would be great for beginners as well. I like that it shows alternative methods, so if one doesn't work well for you another might be easier and more efficient. It is hard to show movement in still pictures so this might not be quiet as efficient as having someone demonstrate for you or watching a video on U-tube, but it is certainly the next best thing and covers a great deal of territory including not just the basics but information about tools and how to utilize them, how to read patterns, variations of stitches and knit patterns and yarn weights to form projects that are uniquely your own. Plus it even offers some simple patterns to get you started.
