I really need this book! This book is for anyone who knits. But will be especially useful for someone new or who is at a basic skill level. I learned how to knit at an early age but dropped it in favor of crochet. But now that i am older, I want to go back and learn how to knit properly. I know the basic stitches, but following a pattern is difficult for me. This book will give me the knowledge I need to know what they are referring to when they use a term new to me.
