My First Knitting Book Review & GIVEAWAY

Learn to knit with patterns that are easy to read, not just a bunch of confusing abbreviations! My First Knitting Book: Easy-to-Follow Instructions and More Than 15 Projects by Hildegarde Deuzo. Starting with the basics you'll learn how to cast on and off, knit and purl, increase and decrease stitches and finishing. Finishing includes weaving in loose ends, seaming, button loops, fringe and pompoms. The garter, stockinette, seed, moss, and basket weave stitches are taught. Practice those skills with a variety of knitting projects perfect for new knitters (listed below). All directions are clearly laid out, with a materials list, text and diagram instruction, as well as photos. You can see from the photos below that there are some lovely knitting projects. Working your way through the projects in this book is an excellent way to get comfortable knitting and increase your confidence. With the techniques you'll master the possibilities are endless. A sweet first knitting book, particularly for girls, but I like it too. A variety of knitting needles, yarn and sewing notions are required to complete the projects. Dover Publications released this 64 page paperback on July 20 2016. A Kindle edition is available. Get your copy below!

A heart I knit from page 48. Because the instructions were easy to understand it was fun making it! I tied a piece of yarn on it so I could hang it.
