As a novice knitter, I was really excited to get this handy little book. First of all, I like how small and compact it is, because if I were working on a project it would be no trouble to just add it to my bag and keep it with me no matter where I'm knitting. There is just a wealth of information in this book and I think this could be a useful reference to knitters of all different skill levels. There are many helpful pictures, but my one complaint is the placement of those pictures. They are just put at the top of the page and the definition closest to the picture isn't always the one that goes with it. It can be a bit confusing at times. Overall, I think any knitter would be happy to have this book in their collection and I'm certainly glad it's in mine.
