I recently picked up this book in a second hand shop, thinking I would maybe get a few patterns for a cheap price. However when I got home I was glued to the book for hours!
The Knitters Bible on Amazon UK is only £11.89 or available to NZ at the Book Depository for $28.08.
I think the copy I picked up is an older edition of this book (the cover is different) but the content is still amazing. There are simple, easy instructions with pictures & diagrams from choosing your yarn and needles to more complex patterns and knitting techniques.
As a fairly new knitter I love having a neat catalogue of different stitches, edgings and methods. I usually use the internet to find patterns and learn new techniques, but I still found this book an invaluable source. It's also useful if you want to make something without a set pattern.
For me personally I was very happy to see suggested patterns to make a patchwork blanket (plenty of inspiration for my ongoing project) I have also been working on a little gift (which I will post about once it has been given) using this book.
