Meh.

Kind of disappointing and a bit of a waste. Everything in here can be found more comprehensively in a good beginner's knitting book or on the internet. Could also have been better organized. Best to check out Stitch n'Bitch again than go through this.

Small enough to carry in your knitting bag, Debbie covers all the basics, how to fix problems and avoid them. Includes instructions for most basic knit patterns as well as some knitted edgings. A good reference book for knitters.
