"Not impressed after confirming wish to continue receiving your emails I start getting advertising emails again. Which I click to remove. Obviously this is a ruse to get our names back on your advertising lists. Can you please not include this when we confirm? Or is that the price we have to pay to get your pattern emails?"

"This is the 8th or 9th dead link I've hit this morning trying to look at the patterns from one newsletter, i can only presume that the person putting the newsletter together does not have time to check and verify the links."

"New pattern, first time I've seen a picture of it on this site. Unfortunately, there is a problem with the link, when you click on it you receive an "oops" message, that the pattern is no longer available."

"Not sure why you would leave your comment on an entirely different pattern but anyway, the pattern actually specifies and gives step by step instructions on what the chain 5 is- (Bring st back to left-hand needle. K1) 5 times Chain 5 made. Bring st back to left-hand needle. K4tog. Rep from to last 2 (3-1) st(s). Chain 5. Bring st back to left-hand needle. K3 (4-2) tog. Fasten off."

"I was able to get to the pattern after I closed 6 pages just to look at it. That page did not used to be like that but it seems to have gone "commercial" like everything else."

Although geared towards kids, and teens, Teach Me to Knit is a great book to have if you are a teacher, or a young person just learning how to knit. This book is very informative. It takes the reader on a journey from the very basics, how to choose yarn, make a slip knot, and how to cast on. Beautiful color photographs explain the different sizes, and types of knitting needles.The book shows examples of straight needles, circulars, and double-pointed needles. Various weights of yarn exist for different projects, and there are photos showing a comparison of different types of yarn.

 

Included in this book are thirteen different projects which are all beginner level. Each lesson builds upon the other. For example Lesson 1 teaches how to make a slip knot, Lesson 2 shows how to Cast On, and by Lesson 3 you learn how to do the knit stitch, and bind off. By Lesson 4 you will be purling.  With these skills, you can make  a scarf, washcloth, pillow, toys for dogs, and cats, coasters, mitts, and hats just to name a few projects

 

The colorful graphics, and photographs inside are vivid enough to keep young minds interested. When youngsters can see their finished work relatively quickly this could be the start of a life-long hobby. Adults will like this book so they can teach their children, or students how easy, relaxing, and fun, knitting can be.

#bestideaever as a beginner myself, and an older gentleman with a short attention span this is such a great way to teach! I love being able to get immediate results.

This book is an interesting means of encouraging young people to knit - the only criticism I would make is that, as in so many other things, left-handed would-be knitters are forgotten. Years ago, as we struggled to teach Brownies to knit, it occurred to us to use a mirror when teaching left-handed girls. Instead of watching the adult demonstrating, the learning knitter would look in the mirror, and copy the mirror image. Worked every time
