Knitting and Crocheting are things I have always wanted to learn. So I picked up this book in hopes I could learn the techniques. I followed all the directions but never knew if I was doing the stitches right.(I haven't gotten past the knitting part) The illustration showed how to do everything, but it never shows the finished stitch. I'm still stuck on casting on cause I don't know whether or not I'm doing it right. I think if I could get past this I would enjoy this book more. Has great tips and what you need to begin. Just can't get over the fact that it never show the finished look of something.
