im a 11 year old girl(birthday coming soon,and will be turning 12)whose family is going to korea soon...im afraid that in korea,i wont have anything to do. that was when my father suggested for me to start up knitting...that sure aroused me...i ended up in this web searching for knitting set, and a knitting bk cheap and teaches me the basics to the 'master skill'...this is the first bk that costs 8+....but im afraid that it is very simple. remember? i want one that teaches me from basics to 'master skills'...pls, give me ur comments by writing a 'review' to me here....hope to hear as soon as possible from you guys out there.

Great for adults too!

I also ended up buying this after checking it out from the library first. I couldn't decide between this and Kids Knitting by Melanie Falick so I got both for a 10-year-old. Kids Knitting has some beautiful color pictures and more projects but Kid's Easy Knitting has the basics and is more reasonably priced for someone you're not sure will continue to knit. Each has strengths and weaknesses in how they explain techniques; if you don't understand how they're explaining it in one book, it's helpful to look at the other one. I used both when I couldn't understand the information in "adult" knitting books when I first started knitting.

Not just for kids, honey

I checked this book out of the library yesterday and now I'm here adding it to my shopping cart. That's how much I like this book.I am a beginning knitter, and want to teach my kids how to knit. I also was looking for some easy-as-pie projects. This is the book for me. It has goofy little pictures and simple instructions that are aimed twords kids, but I get the feeling that they are directed twords adults, too. This would be a great beginner book for ANY knitter. It doesn't talk down to you like some of the adult teaching books and it doesn't leave you with patterns that are outrageously beyond your comprehension to knit.This book, along with some knitting supplies, would be a great gift for any child.
