Book Review: The Knitting Answer Book by Margaret Radcliffe
posted in Reviews |
I have to start of by mentioning that I was not even sure why I ordered The Knitting Answer Book, by Margaret Radcliffe, other than the rave reviews it received at amazon. However, now that I have had the book for a couple of weeks, I can whole-heartedly say that it was a good buy.First, let me just mention that is definitely a take-along book. It’s small enough to fit into just about every bag. It measures 6 1/2 x 4 3/4 x 1, and yes…I did measure. It has a great sturdy, cloth spine and hard covers; it’s designed for long usage and wear-n-tear.
As for the contents of The Knitting Answer Book, the questions-n-answers format initially threw me off. Naturally, I opened the book, right in the middle, jumped right in. I never stopped to think that it would be a FAQ for knitting, but that’s what it is and I love it.
The contents lists the organization of the book. For instance, if you are having trouble reading patterns, you will want to refer to chapter 6. It’s really that simple. There are tons of black and white illustrations throughout the book, so you get a great visual. The book is just like having your own personal instructor, right in your pocket.
