Knitting

For centuries, knitting was a vital skill. Every woman and even little children knew how to knit and spent a goodly part of their time knitting their garments. Today knitting is mostly done for enjoyment, although it can still be a great cost saver. Warm baby blankets, cozy Afghans or sweaters are fun to knit, useful and always enjoyed. Give a girl a taste of knitting, and she will likely have a lifelong hobby with very useful benefits!

This book advertises "extra easy instructions for beginners," and it certainly appears to be. It has very large pictures detailing each step of the knitting process. You'll start with the basics, gradually add advanced techniques, and soon graduate to making a variety of sample projects. Five foundation lessons teach both the English and Continental methods of knitting. To provide you with "hands-on" practice as you learn, special instructions are highlighted in blue. These allow you to continue working on the same swatch of fabric as you build new skills. There are nine projects included.
