I'm a self-taught knitter, so any book that proclaims I'll be able to do more than just a knit stitch by the end of the book is one I'm going to try.

I actually found a lot of this extremely helpful. The images of the different stitches were great: it's easier to see if you're doing something right when you have something to compare it to, after all. Additionally, there were a few tips and tricks in there about picking up dropped stitches and when you have to frog part of a project that I'll definitely be taking!

The projects look simple enough, but alas, as this is a library book, I don't have enough time to try out all of the projects.

Definitely on my to buy list!

Det er en god bok for å lære seg det mest grunnleggende ved strikking, men skulle gjerne hatt med flere illustrasjoner og gjerne andre farger og vinklinger enkelte steder hvor for min del det var vanskelig å henge med.

Selv om jeg kan grunnleggende strikking fra før, ville jeg lese en slik bok for å lære meg å lese oppskrifter, men det var lettere sagt enn gjort.
Ene oppskriften står det i en del "2r, sm 8 ganger 1r" og det var lett å følge men en annen del står det "2 m r sm 1r", hvor jeg purte en erfaren strikker som heller ikke fortod hvordan dette skulle utføres.

I en annen oppskrift står det: "1r, slipp kast, kast, 1r osv, til siste rett" Hvor jeg tenker ok det er 1 rett, slipp kastene, lag et nytt kast og deretter en rett osv, men det fungerte jo ikke så jeg måtte igjen høre med den erfarne strikkeren som måtte forklare at det var 1 rett, slipp kastene, 1 rett, slipp kastene, osv. Selv denne personen syntes at det var vanskelig å forstå oppskriftene selv om de har lest oppskrifter i flere år. Så forutenom dette så var det en god bok.

So, I can knit now, but I’m honestly not sure how much to credit this book.

I still could not figure out even the basic things (like casting on) from this book alone. I had to go look at videos on YouTube to understand what the heck I was supposed to be doing. I also did not make most of the projects in this book because I don’t want to spend a bunch of time and yarn making things I don’t actually want, like makeup wipes or a tablet cover or baby shoes or a mug cozy or wrist warmers. And I only made one scarf.

But it did get me to finally really TRY to figure out knitting, so there’s that? And the projects I did make turned out fairly decent.

I purchased this from Lidl last year during craft week. It’s a very informative book that is perfect for the beginner or for someone who hasn’t picked up knitting in a while as a refresher. Alongside the hints and tips section there are some patterns inside to try out your new skills! Everything from scarves, hats, fingerless gloves, tablet cases, cushions and mug cosies (perfect for this time of year). The yarn selections aren’t too expensive which is great!
