Overall, the designs are pretty and could suit ladies from different age groups. I thought the designs were better than those in Volume 16 - I thought they were a few tacky-looking designs in Volume 16. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

(1)Our Price: US$18.49Usually ships within 7 - 14 daysRelated promotions:March 22, 2009 Pretty and wearable designsThere are 20 pretty designs. Personally, I was glad that I did not find any "unattractive" designs or designs that were "thrown in" simply to fill the pages. Each design had its own charm. There is a freshness to the designs but they are more suited for teenage girls and young ladies. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
Knitting for Natural Clothes
Knitting for Natural Clothes
(1)Our Price: US$18.49Usually ships within 7 - 14 daysRelated promotions:March 22, 2009 Nice but average designsThis book has about 44 pattterns: tunics, hats, bags, shawls, hair accessories and trimmings. They all look very nice but I wasn't blown away by the designs. I found the designs rather average, some of which I thought were rather dull and uninspiring. Compared to other books, they were hardly anything that stood out. I was disappointed with this book but then again, someone else might like this book Did you find this review helpful?

March 22, 2009 Guide to Japanese Knitting Symbols
This book has only 74 pages but it is packed with illustrations and diagrams. Diagrams/illustrations are in two colours and accompanied with a full colour photograph of each stitch. About 69 knitting stitches are featured in this book. There are no instruction on joining pieces, shaping, etc although there is a section on how to use of different coloured yarn. As the title suggests, the book aims to serve as a guide and provide instruction on how to read Japanese knitting symbols. I do feel the book is worth its price. Did you find this review helpful?

Knit Basic 125 techniques
Knit Basic 125 techniques
(1)Our Price: US$25.99Usually ships within 7 - 14 daysRelated promotions:March 22, 2009 A Beginner's Guide to Knitting TechniquesThis book has 114 pages and is packed with colourful illustrations and diagrams. There are full colour photographs of each stitch featured. Illustrations and diagrams to stitch techniques are shown in either in two, three and four colours making it easier to understand what is going on. I find that this book is easier to understand than other books on knitting techniques because on average there are simply more diagrams utilized for each stitch explained. It is more expensive than other books on knitting techniques but I would definitedly recommend it to anyone interested in learning how to knit or how to read Japanese knitting symbols.

Knit Basic
March 22, 2009 Illustrated guide to knitting stitchesThis book has 104 pgs and is lavishly illustrated throughout. There are instructions for around 50 knitting stitches. I find that the illustrations, diagrams and symbols help makes sense of knitting patterns found in Japanese books. The illustrations/diagrams are in two or three colour tones. The photos are in single colour i.e. no full colour photos.The book does go beyond the basics of knitting: there are sections on different methods of joining pieces together, shaping of collar, edges, etc., methods of using different coloured yarn, and so on. Visual knitters will find this book useful although absolute beginners and people who can't read Japanese may find it challenging. Personally I find this book useful and I'm glad I bought it.
