    Great Reference Book

    Teach Yourself Visually Knitting is one reference book necessary for newbies like myself who need to check up on various stitches. It also has easy patterns to help anyone get started. After borrowing it from the library I knew I'd always need it at home. It was great that a 2nd ed. came out just as I was deciding on my purchase.
