Ready, Set, Knit: Learn To Knit With 20 Hot Projects

Rating:
Summary: Lots of techniques, projects not the best
Review: When I first looked at this book, I was struck by the good instructions that the author gives on various types of cables and other pattern stitches. I think that this book is a good book to own if you want to learn a lot of pattern stitches, but the patterns themselves do not really appeal to me. The candy stripe leg warmers and the cable hats are cute, but those are about the only ones I feel particularly attracted to. The fringe top is really ugly, too--just thought you might want a warning...
Bottom line: It's not worth the list price, but if you can find a good deal, then it's a nice book to have in your knitting library.
