This book is an excellent pocket reference. Unlike "The Knitting Answers Book" it focuses on just one way to do things, to get you past a problem you might be having. Anything more complicated should be taken home to fix. I was actually able to understand why my knitting was coming out so huge (I'd been doing gauge swatches backwards)

A good quick read, if reading from start to finish. There is an index in the back to look up topics.

This looks like a wonderful, helpful, indispensable book, but I wish the print size were larger! Make sure you have your most-powerful reading glasses handy for this one.

An emergency survival guide for knitters. This book will help you if you make a mistake.
