Description: New. Brand new. Just a bit of ever so slight shelf wear but it is new, crisp and unread! May have publishers remainder mark on the edge just to assure it is not returned to the store. From Publishers Weekly: Perhaps more outspoken than plain, Righetti flavors her advice with starchy humor, especially when commenting on impractical details in designs ("the dumb baby sweater"; "stupid bonnet") or misleading pictures and sloppy instructions on patterns. Illustrated by graphic drawings and photos, ... read more

"Righetti's writing style is charming, like having a cranky grandma telling you all about what she's learned from her years of knitting. The best part of the book was the section how to look at the pictures of a knitting pattern and determine whether or not it's worth making. I've had to frog more than my fair share of projects because I didn't really consider the kinds of things that she talks about in this chapter. As for information on techniques, it is very basic, and not really that extensive. For example she only talks about 3 cast-ons (none of which are the one I typically use) and doesn't really talk in depth about the pros and cons of these or suggest when to use them. So this probably is not the book to really advance your knowledge level if you already know how to knit."
"finally...i found the knitting book for me. abundant with concise language and filled with tips, terms, and techniques that a beginning knitter needs to know---the kind of information a new knitter is too green realize she needs. the best how-to book on knitting i've found so far."
