Complete Idiot's Guide to Knitting and Crocheting Illustrated,

An excellent resource book for all (basic) knitting and crochet stitches and projects. Easy to follow format with clear instructions and pictures. Shows left-handed techniques as well. This is the way I finally learned to knit. I repeatedly use it as a reference whenever I have a question. You're no idiot, of course. You can sew a button, tie a knot, and even thread a needle in under 30 seconds. But when it comes to knitting and crocheting, you feel as prickly as a pincushion. Don't unravel just yet! The Complete Idiot's Guide to Knitting and Crocheting shows you how to create beautiful crafts worthy of becoming heirlooms. --
