It is about time someone put together a book like this for knitters. Most knitting books give you a pattern and the basics for doing a project, and yes they will put in as side notes and such certain terms and what they mean, but not everything. This book is the opposite. It is literally a dictionary of all knitting terms and anything to do with knitting for all skill levels. I love the little tips she gives like if your working from a book or magazine pattern, look it up online to see if there are any corrections. This would be an amazing gift for knitters or girl scout troops or libraries to have.
