 Is  an excellent primer book for knitting.  I have been knitting for over
50 years and I purchased it and found it excellent.  It is a blind person
describing knitting to you.

You can get it as a download file and no shipping, too!

learn with all sorts of books, videos, and lessons, with very poor results
and high levels of frustration.  I sent her the book in 2009 for editing and
critiquing.  She got it and has knit seemingly acres of stuff for her kids
and family members.  I also had an 8-year-old child use it with success. She
had been referred to me by a professional educator who had said it was the
best book on knitting she had ever seen.
