Review: OK but Needs More Photos

I'm a long-time knitter but I still like to check out the latest knitting guides for beginners, here at Amazon and often also share them at my cooking and craft blog: Veggies, Yarns & Tails.This is an ok knitting guide if you are an absolute beginner and need to know about very basic things like choosing yarn, how to read a pattern etc.The diagrams I did not like, too small and these can be confusing for even those who aren't beginner knitters. Photos are always much better for illustration purposes.This eBook also includes some easy patterns. The little baby bib is adorable and definitely would be a great beginners project. I thought that was an original idea to include in a beginners guide, instead of the usual endless scarves that beginners are usually given to get started. (but there ARE scarves in this guide too, if you are wanting to start with one of those!) ;-)Some links are also included to other resources, including knitting videos which was helpful.Good but could have been even better. Hopefully my comments will be helpful to the author for newer books or editions of this one.Geraldine Helen Hartman, author and long-time craft instructor/columnist
