Advantages: Loads of Good Quality Pictures, Easy to read, Good Value

Disadvantages: none!

I first came across this book when I was actually looking for some simple designs to add to a sweater I was planning on knitting. The first thing I always notice about Debbie Bliss books, and is the reason why her books are always so popular, is the quality and quantity of pictures. I find they motivate and inspire me into creating the patterns she is so famous for creating. Her Step-By-Step Knitting Workbook is no different.

The book covers all the basic essentials like casting on and off, and knit and purl stitches, and goes on to cover shaping, textures, colours, embroidery, buttons and beads, and edgings. Each section has patterns that are simple to read and reinforce the knitter's learning. It also makes the book re-readable as you can use it for reference too.

If I had my time again, this book would be absolutely essential in my learning process as not only could I learn how to knit with a technique, but also learn how to incorporate it into a project.

The book is currently £10.49 at amazon.co.uk, reduced from £14.99. This makes it really good value too as similar books I have seen sold for £40 and more!
