This is the best book on knitting that I have read. The chapters on designing various types of garments are outstanding. (

Well-organized, beautiful, surprisingly improved update on what I thought was an unbeatable classic. I will be replacing the 2002 edition in my library with this one as soon as I can. (

Some useful and interesting sections on sweater sizing and customization, and a few neat tricks scattered throughout. This is hefty for a reference book, but it's not really useful for much else.

Knitting, history to patterns

The very BEST resource for a novice knitter. Great just to study when you can't actually knit! (

Excellent knitting reference- includes stitch dictionary, techniques, but mostly notable for garment design instruction not readily available in other knitting books. (

I'm using this book for the Master Knitter program, and I have to say, out of all of my reference books, this is the one I use them most. If you're only going to buy one, this is the one. (

Between this and America's Knitting Book, I have just about all the instruction I need to follow a reasonably difficult pattern. (

Great reference for a beginner, yep plenty for the more advanced! This book is great for showing you the multiple ways stitches can be done and great clear directions! Large book but it stays in my knitting bag everywhere I go! (
